Have you ever thought about just how lucky you are?
Have you ever thought
"What is it that inspires me?"
It's good to ask yourself that question
"What is it that inspires me?"
I've thought it myself, believe me.
Dark forces at work
I've wondered
as the light poured down
around me
like water
Have you ever thought to realize just how lucky you are?
If you've ever lived with me
and you haven't already
you should.
If you haven't,
then maybe this will cause you to
think of someone like me.
"What is it that inspires me?"
I thought to myself
this very night.
I find myself remembering the taste of loneliness
that sweet bitter taste
and how I got used to it,
When the closest people seem so far away
and when you become accustomed to this
it means you've put yourself in a little room
that exists in your head,
a little room that you're always inside
and you scream
"I want out!"
with your eyes.
If anybody cared to listen
they'd hear it.
It's times like this that have caused me to ask,
when everyone around me
seemed like wraiths and ghosts
that I can blow away with the wind.
When I look outside the windows of my tiny room
so much more real than these
wraiths
ghosts
What I'm really realizing
is that their petty
fragile
lives
lay in my hands.
They have to sleep sometime
It's times like these that have caused me to ask
"What is it that inspires me?"
this realizing
their pathetic human fragility
and my ability to take it away
as they sleep beneath my feet.
Dark forces at work
I've wondered
as the light poured down
around me
like water
Why I'm doing the petty thing instead
stomping loudly on the floor
screaming
ignoring
creating things
Have you ever thought to realize just how lucky you are
as the light poured down
around me
like water?
Think about the people like me that you are close to.
Pray they have a light of their own
and listen
to their eyes
