Good to bad and back again
Will this cycle ever end
Tears roll down and soak the sheet
Why must living be such a feat?
Back and forth the pendulum swings
Like a swooping angel on sanctified wings
Life and love go hand in hand
Perhaps it's time to take a stand
Beaten and bound and clinging to a lifeline
Wounded with a rusty knife this time
Blood spills out and ends the pain
Lost in love, life's true bane
Love and hate, back and forth it moves
A heart trampled by a horse's hooves
Fighting to keep things right
But is this really a justified fight
I wanted the pain to end
Pain caused by you, my friend
But from the pain, this living hell
Comes a lesson I know too well
A lesson taught before
And to be taught forever more
As you again enter my thoughts
The demons take their shots
Lunging their talons at my heart
Wanting my body on their death cart
But the pendulum swings still
And rememberances come against my will
