Option One and Option Two

The hollow ache in the pit of your stomach, grows worse
Day by day
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Inhale...exhale
Remember to breath...
You feel the sting of tears, but the tears remain unshed
Why bother to cry?
Tears will do you no good, or so you tell yourself
So, just smoke two packs a day, hold everything inside
Forget about love, forget about human touch
Tell yourself that you don't care, make up fancy lies
Immerse yourself in denial, find some comfort in dellusions
That's option number 1...

Allow yourself to hurt, to heal
Release all of that pain, and torment, held captive, inside
Let yourself go, remember what it is to feel
Drop the chains, from your heart, from your soul
For they are purely self-imposed
Reach out and touch me
'Cause I"m still here, by your side
Even though you, perhaps, do not see me
I have always been right here...
Stop lying, stop denying, stop strugglings to forget
You are meant to remember, you are meant to see the truth
A truth that before, you couldn't handle
Maybe, maybe now you can...
Just let go of all the pain, let go, and give it up
Love with no bounds, no restrictions
That is option number 2...
