But I Did Not

Would I be awakened with the wrong side rendered

But I did not

Would I be dangling towards demise

But I did not

Forgetting about the innocent splendors

But I did not

And rage blinding my eyes

But I did not

Could have slouched into deception

But I did not

Could have just made it make more sense

But I did not

Accept the devilish invitation

But I did not

Should I just sit upon this fence

No, I won't let go

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken

Against the boneyard hounds a-barking

Almost went to bed just hating it

But I did not

Almost managed to manifest

But I did not

Tormented by just stating it

But I did not

A situation so self-obsessed

But I did not

Felt like burning down the home

But I did not

Felt like buying me a gun

But I did not

Felt like I was all alone

But I did not

Felt like taking it all on the run

No, I won't let go

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken

Against the boneyard hounds a-barking

People just smiling at the sun shining

But I did not

Seeing the dark clouds silver lining

But I did not

Hearing the happy children a-chirping

But I did not

Sacrifice sometimes is just timing

But I did not

Feel so much you can't stand it

But I did not

Feel the love and live inside it

But I did not

Realize that life is but a minute

But I did not

Till I finally found you in it

No, I won't let go

Against the haunting howls a-hounding

Give it all a good old mind a-pounding

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken

Against the boneyard hounds a-barking
