Barricade

Into a dream one fades
God, who will be done
Could a poor soul be saved?
For refuge one must run

Cast from here to there
Left in a disillusioned state
Who acted so heedlessly?
Forgive me, I hope it's not too late

The preposterous other side
This being of negativity
Gains ground within the mind
Revealing my other me

Unwillingly maneuvered by emotions
Performing deeds of the unwise
Engulfed by fictional oceans
My barricades to paradise

Systematically degraded
Should one cross the dividing line
Nurtured by those who despised

Immunity is weakening
It's cracking up inside
Waves of fury change the tide

The dispassionate proceedings
Were the works of mine
Visual guilt unrecognized

One's chimeric barricade
One's chimeric barricade
One's chimeric barricade
One's chimeric barricade
One's chimeric barricade

My mood starts to retrogress
Losing the grip once supervised
The strong dominance never to impress
Left utterly demoralized

Systematically degraded
Should one cross the dividing line
Nurtured by those who despised

Immunity is weakening
It's cracking up inside
Waves of fury change the tide

The dispassionate proceedings
Were the works of mine
Visual guilt unrecognized
