HOW Do WE ESCAPE Our JOURNEY
How do we Escape our Journey?
Is it possible to escape this?
Can I find shelter in my basement?
Will the dust and musk mask it?
As I desperately fall apart
My lungs are filled with smoke
And blood fills up my eyes
I leak a tear of dreams as I float to the sky
I try all day to live this way
But with my age I feel it growing harder
My drunken voyages are running low
Me, see I need adventurous life
this world can get so dull sometimes
So away I go, head held high
I cannot move on
Until the lamps around me flicker with haloed light
Don’t let it speed on by.
The winds are viscous
They howl so ghoulish as I
Scream at the stars until they fall
Wishes like sand blow away in the storm
Better to believe in myself
Than a shot in the dark
I spend to much time speaking to the heavens
They aren’t there for me
Not to be my genie
But seriously I need to figure it out
What about this person I am
Needs to be straightened out
Could it be a sick parasitical infection?
Or just self doubt about imperfection
They do say Virgos think in that direction
Which way should I go?
I guess like I always try to say
Life as we know is about how we portray
The journey that is
Cause if it was simple it would never be
Life as we know it is about the journey
