lyrics

Deep, humid fear
It fills every wondering cell
I claimed to be so close to heaven
But I feel like I’m in hell

Hometown memories
Where everything seems to fade
Would I find grace if I looked with my eyes closed
Or am I just too far away

It feels my life moves in circles
Like earth to the sun
I move backwards
And I depend on everyone
And every road I think will lead to a new beginning
It leads me back to where I had begun

Tuesday comes, I’m still right here
And I’m fighting this lack of emotion
Maybe my angel took a vacation from me
And I’m left here alone

But it feels this fight is getting stronger
These hours as they pass
I want answers
Or something that will last
A peace of mind that won’t dissolve with me in the morning
Or is that too much to ask

And all I wanted was a little piece of forever
But what is forever anyway
Something some poet dreamed
To rid his mind of never
Or at least that’s the way it seems
