Square one

(What I need is peace)

Back to myself… (square one)

⸻

I’d come running in a heap of rain for you,

To my friends, justified the things you do.

Was so low, went numb, can’t feel the sun,

But now I’m back to myself

— (square one).

⸻

Square one, where I need to be, just me.

What I need is peace,

Stressed out is all we seem to be.

I blame you, you blame me,

But who’s listening while you talk?

I’m fidgeting while I speak,

You’re thinking how to get to me,

Can’t take this no more, I’m done fighting, my throat sore.

I know you’re right and you know more,

But since you left, I wrote more.

The top is all I go for,

I see no floor.

I see you floored,

Shut you out, had to close doors.

(yeah, close doors)

(And I know the unknowns are you,)

(So I’m letting it be known,)

(don’t call no more, we’re through)

All this love turned to war,

This Darkness, I can’t endure,

My silence strikes a different chord,

Quite before the storm,

Stay dry, goodbye, here comes the pour,

I’d come running in a heap of rain for you,

To my friends, justified the things you do.

Was so low, went numb, can’t feel the sun,

But now I’m back to myself

— (square one).
