Darkness Ahead And Behind

Life always dumps something in your lap

You're constantly busy redrawing your map

You leave behind a fading trail

Of images and words that you hope will prevail

Life always dumps something in your way

You try to make the best of it everyday

You could give up and give in but you prefer

To keep hoping some kind of change might occur

Just hoping some kind of change might occur

Misery sure loves company

And nobody's ever who they seem to be

The daily horror of people at their worst

And most selfish, one day, your bubble will burst

So much time should not have passed

At least not that way and not so fast

It wasn't always easy, it wasn't always fun

But it was always worth it, regrets I have none

It was always worth it, regrets I have none

Life always dumps something so you should try.

To acknowledge the fact you're surrounded by

These relics of a life that no longer exists

Your name still appears on the waiting lists

Life always dumps something that makes things worse

There are no rules in this self-help universe

It's never what you were expecting to find

There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind

There's darkness ahead and there's darkness behind

There's darkness ahead and there's darkness… behind…
