I look calm
I'm laughing along
smiling like nothing is wrong

I fear this is our life
for the rest of our lives

I worry you'll always be off the tracks

the sun comes in to greet our day
you don't even feel alive

I'm spiritually connected to the earth
you won't ever understand
what beauty it holds

money burns
money appears
just as it disappears

I wonder if you hear music with passion
you pray with empty words and promises

life with you doesn't feel real
I don't like the feeling
