Loose Canon

Suddenly the rain came down,
leaving me sinking in the sand
of this everlasting agony.

There's always a cry behind my smile,
a sky without a sun,
inside this hidden world of mine.

I don't want to see the end,
but I am always drawn to the place
that I know will take my misery away.

So I'm choking back the tears,
scared to take one more step
because it's getting hard to breathe,
and I feel like a loose canon with no control
as these emotions inside of me
continue to grow.
