Now, then, but never again Will I experience how I've been Old, new, what is the name You place on those that have staked a claim Give me the word, and I am out To learn what others are really about Show me the way you have taken in While relinquishing and savoring every last sin Use it, lose it, but never deny it So no one has reason to cause a riot Feel it, say it, it cannot vanish away From the mind of which you are pushing and harboring delay There, here, as I've mentioned before Will always be a challenge to restore Hide, show, whatever you must do To make the point you are determined to You or she, personal pronouns use A metaphor to hide the real clues Open or close, the book is there to read Into or out of, surrender or recede.
