battle between the wants of the mind and the needs of the heart
                               

                                A script that replays
                                in the back of my mind
                                altered and torn is
                                my flow of time

                              comforted by feelings
                              of paranoia and rage
                              by covetous vision of
                              lies im plagued

                                awed by my fantasy
                              my world becomes bleak
                              among my emotions fear
                                and doubt lied sleep

                                a tear from my face
                              brought joy but not pain
                              in disgust my heartached
                          through my body it sent shame

                                  like acid it flowed
                            pulsating through my veins
                                racing to battle the
                                  con of my brain

                              like a thunderous clash
                              their battle did ring
                              it severed the ties that
                                bonded my dream

                                reality returned or
                                so it had seemed
                                I opened my mouth
                              and echoed my scream

                              with eyes that could see
                                yet blinded to sight
                              I focused on nothing
                              my sanity took flight
       
                                trapped in a void
                              neither here nor there
                              lost without direction
                              for me there's no where

                                caught up in a battle
                              between heart versus mind
                                  altered and torn is
                                    my flow of time
