Mad Chaos vs Lonesome Silence

         When did we become the dealers?   
               
 Are we Devious Saints, 
               or Honest Sinners? 

                           Face Reality...
                                 This is real?!
                           For who?!

                    You've crossed over..
  You're playing ball on the other side of the tracks now... 

Oh, don't look so shocked...
   You've been peaking over that fence since you were a little girl. 
                You've always been so curious...
  In your silent solitude, the chaos across the way was enough to drive you mad...   
      'How can so many people live in one house together.. So strange how often people come and go all day...'

    Yet, deep down, something about the rush of activity,  left you with a watchful, and ever-so-curious, eye.
               
        Curiouser & Curiouser...

      It's midnight...
 a car door slams shut. 
            Quick!
      Jump to the window, gaze out into the dark, wintry street.. Your breath fogging up the glass. 

Every night it's the same... 
   Lying awake,
     Listening,
       Looking,
         Wondering...  

And now you know... 
   How they live...
     What they live...
        When they live...

    You claim no intention of ever crossing over.... 
        
          But realize this, dear girl...
  All those sleepless nights, spent glancing their way....
                    
                     Wishful Thinking.

Recall all those thoughts... 
     Scenarios left on repeat...
The excitement seemed so glorious. 
    For Mad Chaos must be, 
                has to be, 
   Better than Lonesome Silence.

~*~And if I had to give you up
 It's only been a year 
Now I've got my foot thru the door,
 And I ain't goin' nowhere
It took awhile to get me in
 And I'm gonna take my time
Don't fight that good shit in your ear
 Now let me blow your mind ~*~
