What is at the core of my being?
What is it that makes me soldier on?
Why live to fight another day?
For love? For money? For What?
As long as I can remember
The days have come and gone
Inspiration ebbs and flows away
away away
Some days I find the place,
The excitement of it fills me and all will be OK
But no, not today.
How could I ever ask her to understand?
How could I promise her what was not there to give.
If I could only will it I would,
But no, there was no will that could
And time and time again the burden
The terrible weight of nothing crushing
No corner is dark enough to hide you
When the searcher is inside you
So many dreams while mindless hours parade
Flashed across a silver lining like a meaningful charade
246 thousand hours made all the silly ideas fade
So many hopes the fool danced out
And now just sad and lonely lout
But wait...
one dream has truly come about
Work and work and sweat believe
This time the ring you will retrieve
Start afresh, and no more lies
Shielded from the love starved cries
But not to be for all the tries
Betrayed by one for years I trust
To understand the things I must
For drive me dreams they must
But all the ends will all be just.
