I wish there was a way
To remove the outgrowth vine that has ensnared the once reasonable mind
A neglection of values, morals, and even self worth
Birthed from a pot and grown out of the thorns of ignorance
Sewn together from the nest of ones own lies
I wish there was a way…
To remove the shackle of this need of mine
A runaway cancer that feasts on the naive soul
A need to fulfill the starvation urge to consume the empty bowl
I wish there was a way
A way up
A way out
I wish there was a way to release the rain of tears that bears the mark of the now tainted heart
The strings slowly pulling the puppet apart
The rising sun – a fresh start
We close our eyes hoping to hear the sounds of applause
Yet all we get is a faceless audience
So a bow in acceptance to our hopeless cause…
I wish there was a way…
If only there was such a way
