Free
Shaun Cloonan 1978 (Fountain Valley)
Free
In a box with no key
See
Your strengths and abilities
Need
Someone here next to me
Empty
Fill me with some self-esteem
Asleep
Please wake me from this dream
Obscene
It’s the way I think about me
Perceive
Shades of black and grey in HD
Think
Way too much about things
Speak
But it seems to come out so mean
Weak
The lack of strength within me
Seek
The beauty all around me
Hear
Things I don’t want to see
Care
Way too much what you think
Fear
You’ll find out the truth about me
Dream
Of becoming set free
Scared
That success will find me
Unsure
Of what the future will bring
Feel
Your pain whispering to me
Heart
Is tired of watching you bleed
Tired
Can’t seem to get enough sleep
Fiend
It awakes every so often to feed
Lonely
I think it’s my destiny
Doubt
It lives completely rent free
Friend
A fleeting vague memory
Love
Something I see on TV
Faith
I think I used to believe
God
Someone I’d like to meet
Free
Maybe he has the key
