The sun was shining we were there
You were miles away
I was waiting we were waiting waiting
You would never show
My friends are leaving
I alone continue hoping although knowing knowing
I will walk alone
I've called your name out loud so many times
It hurts to think of what we had
There is no way back to what we had
There is no way back
The worlds and miles between us growing exponentially
With thought and reason faith will start to fade
Start to fade
Maybe one day love will come again
Some time when i do not expect
I think there is no love
It's all a trick upon the brain
But maybe tricks and cheap illusions are all that we need
To keep us sane to make believe
Make belong
But is this real
I've got to face my inner being
Suddenly see through what you truly are
My sanctuary crumbles to the ground
You shut the door and steal away into your secret world
The lock is fastened tighter and brighter impressions burn
I can't seem to think this morning
All that's on my mind is how to get you back
Like Orpheus went to the depths of hell
All trite cliches aside i quest for something that i'll never have
I needed more
I can't find myself
I should - I should - I should...
Look into my staring eyes
Do you see what i'm trying to convey
The blank expression on your face says only you've retreated
Deeper into your eternal hell where nothing lives and nothing grows
I can't believe the things you are
What you've become now
In the dead of night
A sober drunken man attempts to place
Events in his life in the proper order
He
Begins reflecting in ideas of parallel existence
Like sliders entering worlds of blunt surreality
I read the theme and variations on a poem over jazz
Taking serious the humor Kenneth laid into the lines
Noting only what the speaker did maliciously in turn
Chopping down the house missing all the jokes
Continuing the quest for something
Other than the things you have
Forgetting that the things you have
Are what you searched for long ago
If following a dream
Becomes obsession to the point of trading
Friendship for ambition
Dream no more
