To Redeem
Its something else isn't it, the time that I waste
A crack in the hourglass, I can feel time sifting away
I understand that I'm ignorant, and its my time now isn't it?
This wall, why am I hitting it, why am I living belligerent?
It's impossible to think, every time I hear a thought
And there's nobody who relates, because nobody knows at all
The passion and pain in the harmony, so when you feel I've built a wall
Understand that I have and I could never let that building fall
And if you can barely crawl, then how can you expect me to stand
Your life accomplishments will never make me less of a man
If I could conjure up the courage to submit to the blessing at hand
Maybe I could learn to breathe again, and my chest could expand
Maybe I'm less of a person to you or your dimwitted friends
Because when submitted to scrutiny, I'm loose at the ends
The ideas tied up in a knot, and I'm loosing my grip
I need to redeem my imagination before the illusion ends
