Drops of water smashes down
Eyes submerged they slowly drown
Searching for the obsolete life crown
Looking for a needle in a haystack that is renown
Where the grass is greener on the other side
Never ending souls in a river of shredded tears they cried
Now earth is a lie to hide
All virtues of common sense have died
Perfect cannot be the week have lied
Hypnosis of the youthful mind
Creating multiples of the new kind
Fiction here is all you'll find
Walk the path and your footsteps refuse to rewind
So leave yourself behind
Everyone who is a duplicate queue
To know who you are doesn't take two
Walk the river of reflection inside find something new
Feel the comfort in the steps of finding you
Because everything's unexpected not stuck like glue
Worthless words they have spoken both fake and untrue
History can repeat and our clocks will combine
So with nothing can you walk the line
When the past and present come together
The earth is nature all cities banished forever
Everyday I hope and write
but all my thoughts keep me up at night
I have searched in every place
but feel this is a never ending race
Its been like looking for a needle in a haystack
I now wonder if its something that I lack
I hope the day comes that I know
whether my love will still grow
Every night I will pray
until that faithful day
