Further I Follow
My dreams become a vast oasis of emptiness
Further into the sun I follow
Torn and battered, but on a straight line
Meaning is entertainment for the fish
The sea is full of sharks swimming in blood
Each thought more random, more lost
To trap a thought is to kill a dream
We forever give chase
Running further from ourselves
There is a man outside waiting for me
His crooked smile brings sunshine
and me to my knees
I can barely remember who I was
Before the world took me out
