Through the Fog
The answer came without a clue.
When I finally made it through.
I didn't know there was a question.
I thought it was just a suggestion.
Now I look back through the fog.
Of yesterday's polluted smog.
With no map to find my way.
To a place that I'd want to stay.
The sun don't shine as bright.
There's no fun, it just ain't right.
Dreams are hung on a dark star.
And hope, it just seem's too far.
Another day awaken's into the mist.
Filled with possibilities I just resist.
As I wait for what never comes.
As if I'm just twiddling my thumbs.
After a time you get wore down.
You can't even find a way out of town.
Get somewhere where grass is green.
But instead all I see is what I've seen.
Now I look back through the fog.
Of yesterday's polluted smog.
With no map to find my way.
To a place that I'd want to stay.
