lyrics

Frantic Moments, Stolen Time, Regrettable Incident
The wall of expectation inside myself

Can we make it the end or will it land back on the shelf

Life and death struggle to get to the finish

And yet the only one watching is the power of resistance

Pulse of life running through us

Like the leading light that helps me through a dark and dreary night

Energy of existence that keeps me going

Waning fast as we swallow up all that is sustaining

Pattern of expression, a familiar refrain

The only great vernacular I was able to form into coherence

Tension of the moment meant to impart meaning

But the meaning is the scheming and the parting of ways

Release of anxiety meant to express relief

When we no longer can hold on to all these failing beliefs

I move through the crowd with a sense of urgency

Need to make my finish to prove my brilliance

Or am I too dull to be taken seriously

Must overcome diminished expectations

Destined to fail cannot be my destiny

Strive beyond the sword to remove the fear

Of only being so much when I could be so many

If I only I can make it through the thistle in my way
