‪I haven’t done much with my life‬
‪And before you know it, it’ll be gone‬
‪It’s not worth wallowing in my misery‬
‪Like some sad sad song‬
‪My perception needs to change‬
‪Shift, and rearrange‬
‪Pick the lock that’s on my shackles‬
‪And free myself from this cage‬
‪Stand up to my demons‬
‪Allow myself to breathe‬
‪It’s not what I’ve always wanted‬
‪But it’s more than what I need.‬
My path to happiness is spiraling
Spiraling down the drain
Locked up in the closet
Waiting to hear my name

I wait and wait
Sitting beside myself
Alone and yet together
With my declining health

There’s someone coming to save me
To open up the closet door
I hope, and hope, and hope
And then I hope some more

But there is no one that’s coming
I know what there is in store
I must face all of my demons
And nothing can come before

Not until I realize
Exactly who it is I’m doing it for
Until I break the chains that hold me down
Can I spread my wings and soar
Desperately seeking your approval
Life goes by so fast
Every day is brutal
How long will it last

If only I could hold you
You could save the day
Like a superhero
With uniform and cape

You could save us all
Stand Up 10 feet tall
Cast away the danger
Make sure that we don’t fall

I know that you can do it
We all believe in you
Your temperament is witty
I know that you’ll come through

Fight off all our enemies
You’re the pillar of mankind
Send them off to another world
That would be just fine

Save us from self-destruction
The world as we know now
We’re in need of your protection
I know you’ll come through somehow

Leap from a tall building
Spread your wings and fly
Come up with a solution
No more should have to die
What I see when I look at you
Are eyes of sky and ocean blue
Lips of red, wet like dew
Hair so fine, soft and true

You fill my heart, through and through
I’m so lucky that you love me too
You put me in such a great mood
Your every motion, right on cue

A work of art, my only muse
Of everyone, it’s me you choose
With you by my side, I cannot lose
I’ve done my time, I’ve paid my dues

If you were only in my shoes
You’d know what it is that I’ve been through
You’ve won my heart, I’m stuck like glue
You’ve got nothing more to prove

In my arms, calm, subdued
Supple neck, I can’t refuse
All alone, just us two
Together we are front page news
There’s something that’s come over me
There’s something on my mind
You will not get the best of me
I’m not your average guy

It sickens me to say this
I’m not some crazy sadist
I’ve gotten over this masquerade
In so many different places

You summoned me, called out my name
Now things will never be the same
In your bed I tossed and turned
Waiting for the earth to burn

I made a wish to the stars
That’s how I ended up on Mars
Barely out of my range of sight
I never asked, but I still might

The view from here is quite nice
You’ve got me thinking this might suffice
In other words, I’ll settle down
Please find out what’s the asking price
No ordinary life I know
Waiting for it to unfold
The life thereafter, seldom told
A youth slowly learning how to grow old

Since birth, yearning to have and hold
Each life worth much more than gold
Turned to dust, developed mold
Life fully understood, exposed

The plot is twisting my inner soul
Beware, a vision to behold
Cashed in my ticket, brave and bold
To live the good life, I’m not yet sold
Flowers wilting, peddles fall
The sun behind the clouds
Heavy thunder trembling
Lightning all around

Electric bolts sent by Zeus himself
Disregards the poor, the wealth
Waiting by the windowsill
A gray day and its stubborn will

Light the flame within your soul
The bright and vibrant inner glow
The need to fight
The need to know

The sunshine reaches out to grow
It’s strength it’s force stronger than stone
Contemplating the unknown
Where trees now stand, fully grown
