confused
past realistic illusions leave me confused.
present fantasized reality leaves me abused.
asked my old love, she simply refused.
my life is just a ticking, waiting to be difused.
i don't know what to ask for anymore.
shades of dreams turn pale these days.
empty pocket journey on my way to the store.
mindful of time erasing my thoughts in a haze.
i'm begging for the absolute of yesterday.
i swear to God, its all a big cruel joke.
(someday prayers) might help me find my way.
but like my dreams, i hope they don't go up in smoke.
sent to prison behind my door.
twisted tight about to lose my mind.
drowning in a sea upon the shore.
happiness in truth, i just can't find.
sitting and hoping for the air to clear.
to hitch my wagon to a brighter day.
when will i believe what i want to hear?
am i too blind to see what i just can't say.
