Vision adjusts to this change in light
While returning from another stay -
The trees outside they cast a shadow
And they’re filling this room with a familiar shade of grey

Just like a gateway, at our expense, theres nothing
I try to get away, but it keeps giving me somethin

The pursuit of relief
A distant concept, now obtained
Anxiously expecting an outcome
An end in sight to the pain

A breath of the realization
A test subject, a broken soul
Staring into the darkness
Now understanding our role

Slowly building an obsession

Wake in a cold sweat, trying to catch my breath
Fingers pressed against my neck searching for a pulse
Bloodshot eyes from the minutes of rest
All the strength to get out of bed

Eighteen nights

They ask how he stays so strong in passing
Beneath these eyes, you'd see yo

Standing on the shoreline
Embracing the sea breeze
Staring off in the horizon
A marvelous city appears
She calls to me with promises of solace
The hope to start anew
Reassuring thoughts of peace

Every morning we drag ourselves
Out of bed, into the world
Not the same world we saw the night before

An emotionless people
Motivated by a check at the end of the week

Greed will get you no where

This vision that’s haunting me
That's causing this lack of sleep (a man)
Embodied, entrapped by disbelief (a man)
Who had it all but chose not to see
Rain hits the window, as I sit in the quiet
With only the drops on the pane to break the silence
An image of defeat, a man

Desperate for purpose, reasons to strive
Motivation is essential to sustain life
Without passion, an inner drive
One starts to question being alive

Day in, day out
This lack of ambition is taking its toll
Wandering senseless, without direction
Slowly spiraling out o

Driveway unplowed, the mailbox flooded
An unexpected day for a blizzard
Paint a scene, something much more pleasurable
A family man, returning home after a long day

Reality check as the alarm goes off again
Not a morning person since the accident
Wandering from room to
