Day after day I stay here Day after day I puzzle over life Day after day I make no headway And it breaks my heart And it breaks my soul And the drum line in my chest has stopped it's beating And the string quartet of my soul is exceptionally still And I feel hopelessly alone The trumpets that used to drive me forward have been muzzled And even the titillation of my hope has died out, the keys have gone cold So I float in the abyss And hope that someone somewhere will see me as an island to dream of But the soft recollections of symphonies past do nothing more than keep me a float And the stillness of my orchestra stop me from rising any more And so I wait Tortured by uncertainty and confusion For a note However delicate and soft To pull at the strings of my soul To awaken the snares of my heart To loose my trumpets And move me forward once more
