The Tunnel
GravesLaw 1980 (Pittsburgh)
The Tunnel
I travel is always cold, dark, and alone and at the end of that tunnel is the light that shows me just visions of what happiness is like
The tunnel i travel is always empty and dampt crumbling down behind me showing me fears of smoking mirrors blinding me like the glares of the morning sun
The tunnel i travel has more dark days then light days which brings my heart to tears right along with nightmares that have been broken and shattered like mirrors that hang on a wall or bathroom sink
The tunnels i travel bring me to the end of the road or clifts with nothing left but heavy darkness of fog that clogs my mind of judgment that leaves behind a legacy of harmful memories that shatter everything i try to do good
The tunnel i travel shows me harmful rays of sunlight that blind me from head to toe, top to bottom, left from right, eye to eye
The tunnel i travel leads me to the darkest place in my mind stuck with no way out, no way in, no way around, no where to look but down that breaks me down from every little sound everytime i turn around I'm in a place where i always drown
The tunnel i travel has no beginning, has no end, has no windows to look in or thru nothing but thoughts on how to make it thru to the end with no scrapes, no scars, no pain, no pressure, no let downs, no tears, no fears, no hurt
The tunnel i travel leaves me off at the highest level of the mountain where there is no more water at the end of the fountain of youth just brutal memories that hide the truth that speaks wonders
The tunnel i travel showed me visions of things i never thought I'd see, showed me pain i thought I'd never witness, showed me feelings i never thought I'd have until now
The tunnels i travel are long dark roads that are closed off at the end with no site of goodness after the journey not even a friend to comfort me in my tragic end
The tunnels i travel are extremely lonely trying to avoid every roadblock that comes my way but some how i still keep finding myself in a accident that i can't seem to recover from and the information i get keeps me stuck on a rocky road stranded with no triple a
The tunnels I travel are dark roads full of slippery spots of pot holes that i can't see, that brings me more damage then i can ever imagine I'd ever have to deal with or go thru
The tunnels i travel are toll roads that never end just stays on the same road stuck like groundhog day
The tunnel i travel shows nothing but all black roads with a shine of red lights that shine big and bright as i continue to drive right thru the middle turnpike
That's the tunnel long, cold, and alone the tunnel
