Turning Into


The wheels are turning
But I don't know what I'm turning into

Every dream I have
Is a dream of a dream of another dream

I paint philosophy
Over golden radiant skies

I erect pristine statues
In honor of forgotten dying stars

Everything's changing
But I don't know what it's changing into

I'm just a moonlight drifter
A minstrel selling songs for a dime

My feelings have feelings
And they surely conspire against each other

Happiness is brief
But it is the intoxicant I pursue

My soul is changing
But I don't know who I'm turning into

Past conflicts with present
As if there are two personalities fighting

But when I see the rising sun
I know my painful past has a setting sun

The wheels are turning
But I don't know what I'm turning into 

At least that's what I thought
Truth is I'm turning out to be just fine
