Midgard

I pass the old woman

With glasses walking

You’re on the right path she says

Keep on going, I am the Lord

This is one of my disguises

In my dreams

I grabbed a

Swarm of matted flies

As I reached into my soul

The guy with the weird eye is here

He watches me like a hawk

He sees the worms inside of me

As I try to run but walk

He’s a mighty man

And you can’t do that

As he plays with the worms like pets

Just face them and you’ll be okay

But Midgard shows his face again

I sure don’t see him as my friend

I am surrounded there is no end

You’re help please send

And Midgard catches me again

I must dig deep to reach the end

I am obsessed I must transcend

Again

Looking for my truth with him

In a cabin beside the road

Lots of people here trying

To help me ease my load

A woman in pink

Her baby dropping things

Says

You have to keep on trying

Someday your soul will sing

But Midgard shows his face again

I sure don’t see him as my friend

I must dig deep to reach the end

My soul to mend.

And Midgard catches me again

I must dig deep to reach the end

I am obsessed I must transcend

Again

Out they come

My worms

They’re here

Blame, obsession,

Self-hate and fear

It’s time to weed this wormwood

From my fruitful brain

For years

Under your scrutiny

Your mind was wrapped

Around yourself

But now the child is here

And crying mutiny

Lady with the glasses

Just looks at me

No longer knows what to say

The man with the weird eye

Has turned and finally walked away

They’re bowing out

They’ve had enough

Of fruitless tries with me

They’ve set me free

And Midgard shows his face again

I sure don’t see him as my friend

I am surrounded

There is no end

You’re help you send

And Midgard follows me again

I must dig deep to reach the end

I am obsessed I must transcend

Again

He’s bearing down but I defend

My digging trains me to transcend

I kiss his face, he is my friend

My soul God mends.

My soul God mends.

My soul God mends.

My soul God mends.
