Draining my energy Imagination surrendering to responsibility/ I contemplate on long nights when my thoughts would wonder endlessly/ Restless... seeking escape from the normal person I pretend to be/ Wishing for world peace everyday but presented with hostility/ Speak my truths quiet and calm but not timidly/ My listeners feel my passion burning inside like shots of Hennessy/ Breathing light into the dreamers terrorizing the reaper's dark menacing/ Her mind stays on the statistics My mind on the possibilities/ Yeah... What if life never ended? Your energy transformed... Your conscience suspended/... In a snow globe as your spirit Transcended/... to the future Of this cold world extended/... by the the message that it's sendin'./ Yeah... For some... that's mind bending/ For some broken heart's no amount of time will bring mendin'/ When you're so filled with hate Love can sound so condescendin'/ Been there... hope you hear it In all of the words that I DON'T mention.../ In the scars I don't show... The answers "I don't know"... Given up on a lot of things "My hope"... not one I would stop clinchin'/ So... In a safe place Locked away Hidden in the ink Where my pen Is/... Where I'll keep it For emergencies... When you're lost... And need to know... What a friend is/
