Evil Tide

Evil Tide

Emotional cost turns life to dust

Life, the emotions that lift to want to live

Then crashing down they come and there’s the abyss

Chasm, the jump between the climb and fall into distress

Curiosity, wondering where your floor is

It’s somewhere in the chasm where vices thrive like viruses

Then you’re your own wrecking ball as the elixir train stops to call

It’s time to confront your destruction side and decide for withdrawal

Cold is always the awakening in the dead of time

Loneliness and bleakness in your winter pantomime

There’s no exit stage right or left

There’s only realization in the stillness of time’s theft

Two sides only for the middle is confusion

To do or not to heed that call decides

Find that bedrock in fear or die

You’ll drown in abyss if ever never try
