REPETITION I ve been here before I can feel it Something that swells From within A tightening inside A prickling behind the eyes The sense that the soul Is being poured out in that gaze It isn t the same A different him An entirely new demon The old ghosts have been flushed From the caverns of my mind The past is buried The future is tantalizing I see the old in the new Yet still not the same But I ve been here before Walked this road Felt this way It s all happening again Deja vu gone wrong How will this time be different The insecurities remain And what price will I pay I should turn back now While I m still intact I ve been here before And I know this place all too well
