When Love Fails

He's staring out the window

As his mother leaves

He opens a door in his own mind

To search for the company he'd love to find

This is the first time that he's left behind

In Christmas time

He tries to make food on the floor

he lights up the firework his mom brought home

Love fails then something breaks down

And out of despair when deceived

He is strengthening his fantasy faculties

Beating in her daily care

With a fist that hurts or self-sustaining mind games

The cracks in the wall are beginning to show now

Drunk in his bedroom she laughs 'til he wakes

Then she scares him with faces she makes

In a soft stream he travels now

The garden and his fairy let him in

Into the great unknown...

I travel down

Beneath the stones and rocks I go

It's a lonely, lonely road

I had a talk with my angels and demons

On my world of true affliction

I rolled the dice, what to do, and believe in?

Which way is the best to walk?

He narrows his consciousness

To a state of mind that astral-travels far

Now is he asleep or awake?

Alone with his sister he's five years of age

He doesn't think he can do this alone

On a soft bed he lays her down

The window of Anubis lets her in

He travelled the stars and then back again

His mother is waiting this time

On the floor lies his one-year-old sister

She's lifeless...
