Ambience

 

With all my mind I beseech

And all my heart I do preach

With hypocrisy against normality

I’m sorry mamma; I’m a leech

 

Aspiring to heathens, searching for an Eden

Foolishly breeching birth just to be uneven

Selling beacons to a long road free of reason

Now I’m free of reason, what’s my drive even worth?

 

I close my eyes to see

I seal my mouth to breathe

I hold my tongue to speak

I drag my feet to heave

And pray for woes for me

Cos I’m pre-emptively

Too scared to be

Anything but free

 

Years of treading trodden ground

I’m greatly bound and stubbornly proud

And the adulation of the loudest crowds

Is what keeps me the most bound

 

Cos once in a while, I long to be adored

With every passing second, I’m a bore

I see all my yearning has been for

And nothing drives me anymore

 

I close my eyes to see

My bounded feet are free

To go where I can be

A boy lost at sea

 

A lost boy at sea;

It’s what I need to be

To learn the truth to preach;

It’s all I’ll ever be

It’s all I’ll ever see;

 

Waves so high that I can’t breath

Waves undying so I can’t sleep

A sailing deprived of luxury;

That’s all this voyage means to me
