Coping

The tension is broken

As air fills my lungs, the world comes undone

And just in that moment

All disruption stops, the voices shut off

And now I can cope, I can finally cope

I close my eyes, lose my disguise

And as the ground leaves my feet, my mind is at peace

To my surprise, my trouble dies

Intrusive thoughts escape me, I’m finally free

This world, it offers more than the strongest minds

Could have bargained for

And this search for our mutual purpose

Left us with greed and war

But I’m not concerned with the evil

Lust and their feeble attempts to interpret more

I’ll find my own meaning, cherish the evening

'Cause life isn’t keeping score

I’m struck with feelings of warmth and hope

Find love, and someday we’ll all cope
