Summary:
Another From The Vault. From 2003
Should I
Close my eyes to make you see
Should I
Push myself away to draw you near
Should I
Go to sleep to wake you up
Should I
Stand still to shake you of fear
I’ll keep moving backwards
Just to move you forward
If it helps you here
Should I
Be quiet to get you to hear
Should I
Go in the dark to bring you to light
Should I
Get sick to get you well
Should I
Ask for peace to get you to fight
I’ll keep moving backwards
Just to move you forward
If that’s alright
Should I
Lie to show you the truth
Should I
Show you honesty to make you bluff
Should I
Go crazy to keep you sane
Should I
Grow weak to make you tough
I’ll keep moving backwards
Just to move you forward
If that’s enough

hello dearest Brandon I would think you were always enough it hurts to be with someone who can’t keep up with you but you don’t want to leave behind heartfelt ❤️
Thank you Crimsin. Always nice to hear from you
Powerfully penned, Excellent write of introspection and searching for answers my friends. Let’s just say I can relate, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

Happy to share. Thanks Damian!
This reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend once. I said “If my friend is going under, I’m going in after them.” And his reply was “Wow, not a lot of people are willing to enter darkness for the sake of someone else.” Which might be part of the world’s problems, in my opinion. This has a lot of depth and compassion in it
Thank you Willow. That was exactly the feeling when I wrote it. 🙂
