If I were you..

Sometimes when you look around, you find that there is nothing
that appeals in any way to your senses
You pick up a book or watch TV, grab a snack and brew some tea
but always stay within your fences
When you lay it out before your eyes, you suddenly realize
there’s just not that much left to accomplish
Since there really is no goal, you’re confused about your role
And you create one just for laughs and kicks,
with no commitment,
or conviction,
it’s just madness..

CH:
If I were you, I’d take a walk down memory lane and see if I could remember all the games I played as a kid
If I were you, I’d wait and watch and have the whole world fly by me with its grim expectations carefully hid
If I were you, I’d care less about the outside and dig deeper into the eternal hole that rests within our souls, oh ..but I already did!!

Sometimes when the day is long, you try to sing your favorite songs
Much awaited leisure bells are ringing
Somehow the notes sound flatter now, all they do is kick up a row
Now that there’s some time for singing
And when you’re bored beyond belief, you heave a sigh of relief
As you cast a glance at your bank balances
Some money can surely set you free, change your life by your decree
but you’re unprepared to take your chances
it’s more inviting
to be waiting
for things to happen

Patience is a shortish word for incantations never heard
by those that truly deserve to hear them
Composure is what you care to share, when you fear your soul to bare
Hidden vices cramp your freedom
When you feel yourself walk those thin lines, where thought and action intertwine
A dull response to doubt doesn’t end it
The hesitation breeds regret, your mind prepares to miss targets
that past performance shows you should well hit.
It’s unnerving
to not be serving
your own causes….
