The Last straw

How long can you hide behind a mask?
How long can you escape your pain?
How long until it all goes haywire
How long till your little world
All comes tumbling: crashing down
What will it take to open up your eyes?
What simple tiny little thing...
Will show the final flaw: be the last straw
Bringing that avalanche to the ground
Then: will you still be buried?
Will you be able to stand the sound
Of your own desolation
Will you seek to escape your fears?
Ah Lord there must come
A time of introspection
A time of blessed revelation
When everything suddenly
Becomes so absolutely: vividly clear
