going through the motions

of life and every day

try to do whats right and just

and will to find a way

put each foot before the other

while neither has its place

see a million people

but dont see a single face

breathe in air so stale and dry

that all i get is dust

and put small hope back on the shelf

because they say i must

dreaming but not sleeping

just await the mornings slap

everybody wants a piece

so put me up on tap

pulling through another moment

scarred and deeply burned

have nothing to show for it

but yeah- im better learned

fold in on my skinny self

close my eyes to pain

wrap my arms around my heart

and pray for life to rain
