Welcome to the boundary,
Where the shadow people live.
You thought you'd come.
"Just for a visit"
But it seems you stepped too far.
Things here are how they aren't
Or, maybe, how they should be.
We could try to all get better,
But we wouldn't risk it, would we.
See, standing on the boundary,
Well, it opens up your eyes.
When you look back to the inside
You can see through all the lies.
Even better, really,
Is when you look the other way,
Off the edges of the boundary
To the swirling, starving, gray.
You have to hold on very tightly
While you're looking down below;
You want to see the carnage
But you can't let go.
If you fall it will destroy you,
But to watch here from above.
It's a drug, a sweet addiction,
A self-abuse kind of love.
Once you've been on the boundary,
Well, you can try to get away,
But inside you'll still be empty,
Yearning for that deadly grey.
Quote
I love the
3AM version of people
Vulnerable.
Honest.
Real.
