Third Eye

When I'm lost within the dark
When the anger ails my heart
And I'm killing flowers, crushing bugs
Cuz there's acid in my coffee mug

When all the fireflies are gone
And all the stars have said so long
When I'm left to be depressed
I feel my heart squirm in my chest

When my sadness eats me whole
When I almost lose control
And it hurts to read her name
So much, my body feels the same

Then I'll stop and sit and breathe
Till the aching is relieved
I'll find my peace within this dark
I'll let the shadows leave their marks

Then I'll stop and sit and smell
To save myself from my own hell
Then I'll open wide my ears
And fight against my deepest fears

Till the stars appear to blink
With their light-year distant winks
And the fireflies come back
To save me from my heart attacks

And though my illness won't be cured
The solitude helps me endure
Till my third eye's given birth
I've lost nirvana here on earth
