That burning fire
Sometimes the silence that is all around
Leaves in my head a buzzing sound
After awhile
I lose my smile
I sit here
Sometimes I feel fear
No other human voice
But it is my own choice
Still
Against my will
Sad enters my head
I feel dread
A fire
Some inner burning desire
Memories start to haunt
Sometimes of things I yet want
Someone to talk to
When I am blue
I start to cry
I do not even know why
I try
I tend to see things in such a beautiful way
But sometimes my head turns gray
The alone that I feel
Will never heal
I wonder why
At times I cry
I know I will never belong
That is not my song
I never get along
People come and go
I find emotions are just for show
Sooner or later you run out of things to say
Before long you go your own way
Alone again
Way it has been
Except for my dog Jin
Hello good bye
Give me a few days to cry
Please do not tell me why
No more
I picked myself off that floor
Refused to ever fall
So I built a wall
From the world I hide
Cause I can not abide
Good bye
Makes me cry
Makes me sad
Feel bad
Nowhere to hide
I have tried
Too myself I have lied
Lost in yesterday
So alone I stay.
Running from or maybe to
Looking for something I never knew
Far and wide
I have tried to hide
From myself from the past
from love that never seemed to last
Lost in these words I write
Keeps me going in this fight
When in times I lose sight
Of tomorrow
lost in sorrow
Write out the bad
Lose this sad
Get back my glad
Each day
My chosen way
The Beauty I chose to see
When my heart wishes to be free
Of this lonely land I am a part
Same heart
Lonely and cold
Right now I feel as old
How far must I go
What must life show
What must I see
To finally find me
I grow weary
Down right dreary
Sometimes I wish to see no more
Find my door
Let my spirit soar
So much I have saw
Sometimes on the wrong side of the law
Life brought me here
Surely, not to be full of fear
Hope is always near
So on I go
But life is so slow
I'm tired
Cold
Feel so old
My heart is pure
For that there is no cure
Out here I may die
With no one here to cry
For a last good bye
A moment in time, I make
Just be happy for each breath I take
Still alone
But better than what love has shown
So I put away my sad
Borrow some glad
Hold my head up high
For no one is there to see me cry
Alone, you never have to say goodbye
Night starts to fade
In sadness I no longer wade
That inner fire
Lifts me higher
Beyond desire
I am stone
Even if I am alone
