Next time

You've been working so hard for it

Aching for the path that you hope will be on your side

This time

And you know that you're giving

All you've got and you're living

Like you're not

So give

Go on give in

This time

 

Say you wanted a different kind of life

Inspite of all of your trying

I know you have been lying

To yourself

For the longest winding mile

So go give in

This time

 

For the dream it is fading

In the scene if your own making

And you hope you'll wake soon

This time

 

But your eyes are wide open

And your heart has shut tight

And you know that you're choking

On the part that takes flight

From this life

You hardly recognise anymore

 

So go ahead close your eyes

Dream instead of those lies

You tell yourself late at night

In the guise you'll get through your woes

That beckon you to come hide

 

Or this time give some meaning

To the world you'll end up leaving

Without you

Without ever having known you

By its side
