Come journey with my through my mind
Sit beside me for the ride
On a rollercoaster we will go
Hold on tight and don't let go
Down the tracks we slide
Moving images on each side
My first dance for the day
Exotic erotic in its own way
But not for myself, and I alone
In this harem, the king sits on his throne
Enthralled in my own Arabian night
My body tells a tale of might.
On forwards we do go
To a battlefield in Ancient Rome
The lounge swirls as couches disappear
Replaced by sandpits built for fear
On the outside, barbaric men cry out
While inside, women fight and do not pout.
Who do we fight?
There's no one to see
Look closer to find
Your closest enemy.
Through punches and kicks
The air is intact
But see the ghastly face
As my punch pulls back
Anger given to me
From the world, you see
Escapes to a place
Only I can reach.
Out of the tunnel, ride with me
My new friends you shall come to meet
They're in my room, listening and talking,
Ever-changing but never fading
Whatever shape they may be,
Their presence fulfills my needs;
Never can they disappoint me,
For there they will always be.
Have you seen the mountaintop yet?
Where I sit and try to forget?
The cliffs hang above a luscious valley,
Full of trees and rivers and breeze
Here my spirit does escape,
The real world, it cannot face
Forget my worries,
Forget my woes;
Here all I need
Is my spirit aglow.
Hold on tight,
Our next stop is filled with fright..
Here my demons still do lie
They haunt and come to play at night
I try to walk through them, unawares
But they choke me and keep me scared.
Here is the place only I can see
From it, others are simply free
I should face it, not shove it at bay
Only then will I be able to walk away.
The ride almost over,
My life's longest cover
A safety blanket, a part of me
Still comforts me beyond relief;
No more is it a children's toy
But an adult's longing for joy
The comfortable security it gave
Now is not enough to make it safe.
Our journey has come to an end
Take what you will, but please do come again
The things you have seen may all well change,
But the images in our mind will never fade..
