Mind My Steps

MIND MY STEPS

If you could walk in the halls of my mind

The things you might find, sometimes scary, sometimes fine

If you could pull the strings on my heart

The feelings you'd feel, sometimes tender, sometimes hard

If you could hear the haunting melodies

They would consume you like they do me

If I could dictate how it all goes down

I might not feel so out of control

Slow easy going, mind my steps, before I fall

If there was a promise that was never broken

The spark would be ignited sometimes burnt, sometimes smoking

If I knew all the right words to say

The poetry would come alive, sometimes in a chant, when I pray

If I could describe exactly what's on my mind

The things I might find, sometimes confident, sometimes blind

All the possibilities not sure which way to turn

With all the years I've had, you'd think I'd learn

But here I am same as I ever was

Looking for some sort of control

Slow easy going, mind my thoughts before I fall
