We all can reach that point
When we are pushed
When we are guided
When we have to...

When we have to,
we can surprise even ourselves.

Faith - the faith you counted on to keep you strong
Can turn on you like a cobra;
A mind-weapon in the hands
Of those who challenge and test your soul.

Even Allah has his breaking point.
I've seen it.
Even Fatima has shed her veils and danced to the tunes that I have chosen.

Fear and Time combine in an uncertain swirl to prove
That betrayal..no; cooperation, survival
Was only 3 or 4 sleepless nights away
A little water, a little fire
A dog, a few less clothes
A shave or haircut, a new style, different music
A movie to watch, an excercise program

We all can reach that point,
When we are guided.
When we have to.

Now, in these hours we share
Tell me,
Confide in me,
Let me in.
Take the hand I offer.
For I understand.
I am like you- full of doubt
But never doubting
The lethality of my own mind.
OF Fear and Time and Darkness and Noise
and Silence

I am like you
seeking something.
Something that seems undefined anymore...
Something, something...

We all can reach that point
