Song Without A Chorus
I'm a song without a chorus
And my mind is rather porous
Been down this road before
Questioning why I'm back for more
Words bounce around in my head
When for years I thought they were dead
For years I watched myself bleed
Ignoring the things I need
But it's a waste of my headspace
To fight gunfire with a mace
So here I stand one more time
Lost in the echoes of rhyme
Because deep down I love this
And the scene is what I miss
Green greed feeds the machine
With wanted posters asking if I've been seen
But I'm not Waldo, you don't need to find me
I'm here for all of you to see
With a pen that still drips with ink
It really has to make you think
If passion can truly come and go
Then what do any of us know
But I've paid my fine
And lost my place in line
But that's just fine
I'll carve it out with each new line
A subtle repetition in the flow
And maybe everything will glow
But I am not a gimmick to be written off
Even if I've fed from the trough
I'm just a song without a chorus
And my mind is rather porous
I'll just have to sing hard enough
So my words are good enough
