Together as opposites

We got coffee on outside NA meetings once a week.

A broken path no need to mend
It's been done from front to end
This is the message I'm trying to send
To noone but my enemy and friend

Feel the crash and the burn
Watch the world slowly turn
The excitement and straight distress
The perfect order, chaotic mess

The paradox and contradiction
The simple facts and prediction
My mind is whirling all around
As I fly away, feet on the ground

I try to stop, but the pen refuses
As my team wins and loses
Is this balance or a broken scale?
A non-fiction story tale

Both sides of a one-way mirror
Utter courage and terrible fear
Is this a game or a test?
Always the worst and the best

Skip the rythem, love the rhyme
Break the clock and watch the time
Inside out and outside in
Here's the end now begin

Doing nothing but make ends meet
Walking through the middle of the street
The side of the road's got rocks and glass
Like the dope houses I used to pass

Always in but never enter
Just outside but in the center
Make it stop, this calamity
Before it leads to insanity
