“Even Odds”

[Written in November 2008 – ‘Home’ is where the heart is. Everywhere and anywhere else, a scarf to hide one’s eyes and a jacket to warm one’s heart are required for… Everywhere and anywhere else, reign but Winter, Illusions and Masquerade.]

I've had my fill of Emptiness

Loneliness found a friend in me

So what if there's full void ahead?

It's all the same diff'rence to me!

I've been so cold, what's one more burn?

Courage has been spun from my fears

I've learned to swim now, oh... sooo well...

What is just one more sea of tears?

(Chorus)

Nothing can stop me

Nothing can scare me

Not much can now stand in my way

The way I see it,

I've even odds now...

So what if my life's gone astray

I've even odds now

It's even odd how...

Why… Even Darkness lights my way

I've been so tamed, though wild with Pain

I screamed in silence, all those years

I've learned to climb in my worst falls

Nothing now bothers me at all

(Chorus)

Nothing can stop me

Nothing can scare me

Not much can now stand in my way

The way I see it,

I've even odds now...

So what if my life's gone astray

I've even odds now

It's even odd how...

Why… Even Darkness lights my way
