Analysis of why I'm here?
howard bass 1970 (lubbock,texas)
why I'm here I do not know,
I feel like a fish in a very small bowl,
nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
no one to love by my side,
I just want to fly, fly away,
maybe come back on a better day,
if I died would anyone care,
would their love for me disappear somewhere?
so many questions but no one to ask,
I just want to break this ugly glass,
so, for now I guess I'll go for the simple reason
I may never know........
