Wonderlust

Sitting in the mountains of Washington state Trying to change my fate My crazy drives me away For long I don't stay Peace of mind Trying to find Sitting by a lake A moment I take Just to look around So many a sound Wind whispering through the trees Sights that please Mountains all around me This feels free The words in my brain Riding a broken train Soaked by the pain My mind of madness Calms my sadness A hermit I'll always be On my search to be free I try to belong Feels wrong Loner Stoner Hiding in some corner All I have are the words in my head Enough said Renting a room hiding from the cold Cause I'm getting old I'm tired Need to be inspired Something to be desired The battlefield within The hell it has been Will I someday win Sit here awhile I can feel my smile Hidden just below Before I know That is something I hope to find Along with some peace of mind Wounderlust Who to trust Find myself in good health Spending my imaginary wealth I am someone My mom's son Wish to someday say I won This place I stay Along my way It is nice This winter I won't feel like ice Maybe my heart will warm up as well You never can tell

Aloha, fellow William. As a former Kitsapper county resident, I see that you pay no never mind to the rust in wonderlust. Beautiful state that my employer saw fit to place this Hawaiian there--glad they did. Alas, they like to bounce me around, hence I parted. Let your mom smile on knowing that her son remains in wonderlust, my friend. Aloha, William
