Visions

When up is down and going forward takes you back in time
When warm breath on a cold day permeates the mind
When the voice of reason is making no sense at this time
You’re with me

When covers can protect from haunting visions 
When searing heat cools your thoughts and decisions
When darkness is the only thing that has good intentions
You’re with me

If you see curtains dropping while you shrink away
If you see a man preferring sorrow and losing his way
If you see the night not coming, at least not today
You’re with me

Do you see the lost time and the lost road?
Do you see the shed designed only to hold, 
Do you see the cards dealt predetermined to fold? 
You’re with me

A shattered spirit underground and a shattered cup
A home long gone, it wasn’t the fire that burned it up
If you crawled on your hands and knees to find me, guess what?
You’re with me 

When the battery has been charged but she won’t turn over
When there’s reason to drive but no oil in the motor
When it was bought in faith, void of disclosure
You’re with me

See a tree that grew but is no longer there
See a house looked for but a panicked “where”?
Run where a voice is silent while, attempting “here”
You’re with me

Can you really forget things that might not matter?
Can you see bare feet; can you hear the pitter patter?
Can you not see the room; can you see him beside her?
You’re with me

It’s reason that finally says “it won’t be found”
It’s reason that says “either now or forever bound”
It’s not the same anymore, just look around
You’re with me

When cold runs in your veins like a thousand watt
When never good enough is all ya got
When your chest takes the brunt, a battle you fought
You’re with me

When you never cared to know the truth
When you never asked under this roof
When you never wanted any proof
You’re with me

If you read my mind and wonder, why?
If you read the clues and look in my eye
If you can’t leave because you want to pry
You’re with me
