The Rabbit Hole

Down the rabbit hole you slide again
Chasing a dream you never could make true
Eat this, drink that, ignore the cost
Of living backwards like a backwards fool

Hindsight has become your foresight
Slipping inside it like a glove that never fit
Forcing your way into a world
Where reality is only what you make of it

The memories become delusions
Of the one time you thought you could get it right
And while you slip on all your illusions
You forget for the moment all that’s in plain sight

Step forward, then retreat
This messy game means don’t admit defeat
Step back, then out once more
With love like a poorly locked revolving door

You’re the only one who can survive
On this pent up roller coaster of give and take
The rest falls by the wayside
While you cling to the glass you can’t help but break

Sticky shards of all your todays
Embedded deep into the wounds of yesterday
You’ll use anything you can to fill the void
Of a darkened heart that’s lost its way

Still wanting all the love that love has to give
While you stand there passing out crumbs
There’s no sense in reaching for tomorrow
Because, for you, tomorrow never comes
