Snow falling on embers of lost dreams…
Where the clouds obscure what it means…
Danger around the bend and more behind…
With these flakes making me snow blind..
Spinning tires and the motion of falling back..
Trying all the while to keep myself on track..
They say anyone can do it, but we know that’s a lie..
So just pack it up and bid your final goodbye…
No more trips home for the beleaguered holidays..
No more having to deal with their different ways…
Dinner time at the family establishment..
In a room all filled with resentment…
Wondering if we really are what they represent..
Or are we just an idol to the time that they never spent..


Loss of direction since my interior infection
Failing to notice the cracks upon the latest inspection
Wondering if it’ll be all right with my correction
Or will it all be piled up in that final collection…
Lost..So lost in this life I once knew..
And how I never knew how things would be untrue…
With my answers and questions coming up so few..
I thought I knew who I was, then I met her..
I though I knew what we’d be, now it’s just were..
Words spoken on harsh lips and iron egos..
Now it’s just resentment everywhere she goes..
Stripped to the bone of all my worldly emotions..
Lost in the sea of love and it’s major oceans..
Oceans of resentment, sea’s of pain..
Words falling out of my mouth, bordering on profane..
We knew once what the past was to become..
But then again, we don’t think back to where we’re from..
Forget the past and make up a lie to cover all we lack..
But we just sit there and try to hold it all back..
