A Wanderer

through these spaces
 in search of hidden traces
 wouldn't you like to be
 inside of the life of a bumble bee
 what are we willing to achieve
 gone are the days getting caught in a haze
 your just like a mouse stuck in its maze
 yet we must be brave
 look at the wanderer
 wherever he lays his head is his bed
 a face of the walking dead

hitting the road
 alone in his head
 moments of solace
 amidst the inner violence
 traveling deeper then ever before
 lest I implore
 another opened door
 he travels alone
 he walks with a song
 can't everybody get along
 through visions of twilight
 in a variation to a dream
 always tracing memories
 through a scene
 living in a land so very mean

he then takes a sip of Jimmy Bean
 life for him as a wanderer
 waiting for a call up a yonder
 in his dream he's in a gas chamber
 falling apart at the seams
 love for him is exchanged for lust
 like an old car he sits and rusts
 sooner or later
 A stereo nor caper
 seeking for a reason for being
 in the changing of the season
 merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder
 stop the madness before his heart grows colder
 may have to wait until he gets a little older
 put your head on his shoulder
 as our hearts grow fonder
 through the very eyes of a wanderer
