Waiting
Staring at the flames as it burns out
Hesitating
Holding hope by the threads of my thrift store couch
So much finger-pointing
All the self-anointing
"Chosen-one" and "Victim"
I keep disappointing
So I'll be disjointing
Retreating within
Jump on in let's fade away together
Riding the edge of waking and dreaming
Where the sun is always beaming
Into my mind
Where I can see forever
To the not-so-distant place
Where everything will be okay
Talking
Burning out the ears of the ones I love
Sitting
Instead of walking
Thinking answers fall from above
So much finger-pointing
All the self-anointing
"Chosen-one" and "Victim"
I keep disappointing
So I'll be disjointing
Retreating within
Jump on in let's fade away together
Riding the edge of waking and dreaming
Where the sun is always beaming
Into my mind
Where I can see forever
To the not-so-distant place
Where everything will be okay
More silence
More peace
More action
More good deed
Less need
Instantaneously free
