Further from the Truth -

I see the rain fall down the hall,

I can feel it, but no one’s listening anymore

And I can’t take it.

In the service of the few,

Laugh my way out,

And I’ve never felt so new,

How ‘bout you now?

But nothing’s further from the truth.

Feelings fading

drifting further from my youth.

Tired of waiting, I’m so jaded.

Can’t I be more like you?

I’d try to smile but it’s no use.

Woke up early kissing you,

Day is endless

The sky is radiating blue,

I thank my stars I’m breathing…

But nothing’s further from the truth

Feel this cave in.

Slipping further from my youth

Tired of waiting, I’m so dated

Wake me up when it’s through.

I’d try to lie but it’s no use.

It’s no use.

Vision, focus, clarity,

The inability to see what god knows…

Life buzzes around my head,

A woken from the living dead

Choices made for one and all,

With open eyes we take the fall.

Oh, wake from this dream.

Even when the words don’t rhyme

There’s meaning in these times we find

And I can’t wait to be awake again.

I can’t wait to see you again.
