It’s now 4:30, do you know if your hearts dirty?

Is it sleeping in your bed or all alone in your head?

Is it something you embrace or has that glitter faded from your face?

Your heart is tied down by all these relationships
with your destiny in your white knuckled grips.
Lives touched in the glimpse of a phrase…
Life and love passed on through the days…

Can you embrace the love of your life
or is it something you just consume?

It is the goal of a lifelong search
or just another day on towards your doom?

Has it walked away a long time ago?
Has it forgotten your address and smell?
Has it faded away from all you know?
Has it stuck you in a life alone in hell?

Can you embrace the facts and walk away clean
or do you still not understand what all of this might mean?
