Tight wires which hold your world together
Tight wires which grip and bind
These wires will now be yours forever
They circle round your mind.

 

Just like the earth flows free with water
Yet molten iron churns inside
Break the crust, disturb the order
And space will fill with screams and cries.

 

Unknown to you, this wire's your life-line.
Its strength maintains the status quo.
And you must cling throughout your life-time
For chaos waits if you let go.

 

The net it makes traps all your feelings
And once removed they'd scream and shout.
The shock they'd give would send you reeling;
As terror, fear and dreams pour out.

 

If you permit, this vast explosion
Would permeate each tiny crack.
A universe of your emotion -
You'll never put your feelings back
