CONFUSED





Don't temp me again
I'm leaving right now
Nothing left to pretend
How can I begin?

Walked down the street a little
Flagging for a cab that never stops
I just gotta turn the next corner
Maybe I can wait

To many people around to scream
So happy to be free
So angry with you
How can this be?

Ballads written only because
Hearts' will which never comes
Passing illusive words in song
Images conjure meaningful stares
You right in the face of mornings
Dawn awakes a shadowed wind
And meaning floods radiance brilliant
Into an eclipsed emotion
So happy to be free
So angry to go
How can you know?

Another oath of rhyme and reason
Penetrates overgrowth in shadowed figure
My mind beholds nothing
Good enough for now
Forget the reasoned rhyme
Free the moment
And shout out loud
