Living Out Loud

One taste of me, And I want more Happiness is my drug A disease so pure Just one moment and… I decide to never be down again Until the next time I throw it all away Inspiration she’s a friend of mine She tells me not to… Walk down roads been walked before She begs me, Don’t waste it You get one life, And then there’s nothing more I’m drowning, In myself I’m feeling, distanced from myself I need help I’ll relocate me, Spend time with me I’ll learn to be Closer to me Lesser than me I have to be The man in me Sometimes when I lye awake I get the feeling there’s something more To life than just the simple whores of joy I’m loving life when I am inside me If you can’t be trusted, Then learn from me The same things happen everyday If I speak like everyone I’m not alive If I enjoy everything Then there’s something in my mind There’s someone in my mind To feel is to be, Well I can’t feel me Freedom is not visible A dark landscape is filled with mines Blasting through the goodness, The controls within’ my mind I’m gong solo, I’m going forward I’ll take it on my own And though I leave my friends alone My mind, is not away from home My mind it is my own I’ll live out loud Silenced have I always been? My face frozen means nothing I’ve been changing within’ Never did I say to life… I will not die, I’ll change my mind So sirens aloud this one’s Living out loud Written March 31st, 2002 © on Mar 31 2002 03:57 AM PST   10 • 0
