In too Deep

Just like a lost soul wandering
through a fog of unknowing
an untrodden path I took
that brought me to you --

here I stand at the crossroads
once more questioning my beliefs
questioning what I feel
against what I know I should shield --

'Coz I'm in too deep
Oh babe, I'm in too deep.
But this love I can't keep
For it burns like hell to feel
but I'm in too deep.

Was it my loneliness that called out
Through a universe of pain?
What a cosmic joke this is, then,
To have met you again!

The heart has its reasons
that have nothing to do with logic;
And impending doom hurtles
with sure certainty to smithereens.

And caught in these horns
of a dilemma that scorns
Lady Logic's calm unconsent
Defying rules of endearment --

Ah, but I'm in too deep
Though it hurts too much to keep
A love that is so wrong
But feels so goddamned right
'Coz I'm in too deep.

Not too jaded still by life
to walk on this insane edge
but the razor sharp hardness
cuts through, with pain in its wake --

Where's my best friend now?
In my hour of need, Lady Reason,
eludes my grasping mind
As devastating as treason --

For I'm in too deep
Oh yes babe, I'm in too deep
Though her counsel I must keep
But Logic can't help me believe
'Coz I'm in too deep.

So I send my uncertain verse
Into some fathomless void
Into your deeply corroded hollowness
Spawning feelings you avoid.

Through a haze of incipient insanity
A lonely shadow flits on a sigh
It flits alone stripped of all belief --

There, without the grace of you, go I.
