(written in second perspective)

the rocks and cliffs gave me comfort
in knowing they could recapture my essence
but it is not like that anymore
suddenly, i want to live

the booze and snow made me invincible
a temporary cloak
to mask the shadow of me
suddenly, i want to stand in the sun

lies and closed eyes kept me from truth
the only truth i knew
was on the giving and receiving end of a fist
suddenly, i want to confess

self destruct modes ruined love
get too close, and i'd run
love? impossible
suddenly, i feel my heart overflowing

the future and goals were unfathomable
live for today, tomorrow, i will be gone
long range plans never had a name
suddenly, i want to chart a map

iron bars, restrictions and chains on my ankles
that was the freedom i enjoyed
no chance of a hung jury, i was always guilty
suddenly, i am free

with this freedom
i chart my map with you as the destination
i love you, and look forward to tomorrow
honesty is a part of me now, and so then of us
take me to the highest peek in the day and again at night

suddenly... i want to live.
