Now Or Later
Today, tomorrow
Now or later
I place my misery
Within your hands
Your softest palms
The heart of a troubled man
Begins to stand
For those whom know not
What I go through
Suppressed in thoughts
Must I show you?
Seems the figure
You all look to see
I suddenly couldn’t be
Even when faults were wanted
I wouldn’t plea
Shall I rest
Today, Tomorrow
Now or later
With everything I’m providing you
All in the mist of tragedy
All that is reliable
Is truth
Peers next to me
Seem to see
A short life expectancy
How harsh times better a man
In shackles, in cuffs
Yet I’ve written this letter in hand
Here I imply
My suspicions and demands
Who’s to judge me
For taking a path not often shown
Chances taken and blown
Cold weather wishing
Next to a fire place all alone
I miss you and there’s nothing wrong
How is one to feel
When they’re all dried with in a song
