I posted this back in 2005 and just came across it today, and I really like it, so I'm reposting it. Your thoughts?

YOUR LIFE


So she asked if I’m happy with my life,
and I know where I am and I like it...
it’s not too often you get a clear view of your mind
when the world is aligned and your eyes see her beauty...

Now follow me down
to the well of disbelieving
and look inside your own life, it’s deceiving...
bring up the pail but leave the web you’ve been weaving
‘cause it’s your life now and like a book you keep reading...
to discover yourself you’re hell bent on not leaving
but you know it’s not real, it’s not water,
you’re bleeding...

And so I tell her I know where I’m going to be,
and I know who I am and I’ll get there...
and I won’t come undone when my fears overtake me
she sees the world in my eyes and to them she is my beauty...

Now follow me down
to the well of disbelieving,
and look inside your own life, you’re only dreaming...
of a world you’ve made caught in the web you’ve been weaving
but it’s your life now, you’re the book they’ve been reading
to discover the lie about the truth you’re deceiving,
and you know it’s not real, it’s not right
you're still bleeding...

you’re only dreaming of the truth,
but it’s a lie,
you're still bleeding
