Cast your shadow for those to feel
come around just to heal
Make friends in awkward places
Recognize all the open spaces
Help someone other than you
Somewhere along the way, fall in love too...
Have a pastime and subtle grace
know who and how to stake your place.
Bask in knowledge and power
Live up in your ivory tower
Sit upon the throne of happiness
trying to find new ways to bliss
Is love something bought by time
or is life just one big crime?
We steal from ourselves
and pack up our shelves
We fantasize about all we lack
and let our daydreams hold us back.
