Let the sleeping dogs lie

There was a time when i felt the light
Even though around me was only darkness
At such times i was willing to fight
Even though to many it seemed like madness

Then there were times when i sat illuminated
Yet inside of me was only dark
Those were the times throughout which i waited 
Yet didn't see a single spark

Today i'm somehow somewhere in the middle
Desperately trying to keep the ballance
For so long i've been trying to slove this riddle
Which most of the time feels like utter nonsense

Blinded by light sometimes i stumble 
Upon the truths that make me cry 
Knowing them causes me to crumble
I should've left the sleeping dogs lie
   

But once you woke them up 
There's no puting them back to sleep 
They sniff out every feeling  
Especially those you try to bury deep
 

Don't even ask whether they bark or bite
For silence will be your answer
They stand tall in all their might 
Growing silently - like a cancer

There's no leash strong enough to hold them 
Belive me i should know
No wall is tall enough to scare them 
You don't want to be their foe 

For once the sleeping dogs lie no more 
There shall be hell to pay 
They'll shake you to the very core 
And nothing will keep them at bay
