If I could believe in something
don't you think I'd try?
If I were a man of faith, wouldn't I, wouldn't I?
But it won't reappear the taste for life
that was so abundant in past years.
Standing at the gates of memory
a palace built of lies.
Permanently barred from entering the same each time.
So it won't reappear
the taste for life
that was so abundant in past years.
Help me find a line to this source
that was so abundant in past years.
Years, I know now I've misused.
Voices foreign hover in place
echoes of lost seasons escape.
I replay desperately these
fragments of a truth to renew.
If you could control the faucet
of sanity that blinds
would you face the gaping maw
to resuscitate your vital signs?
When it won't reappear
the taste for life
that was so abundant in past years.
Help me find a line to this source
that was so abundant in past years.
Years I know now I've misused,
Voices foreign hover in place
echoes of lost seasons escape.
I replay desperately these
fragments of a truth to renew.
{ The memories will fade
while the details degrade
and the dream now overcast
belladonna-alcohol.
Until then there's no relief
face down in a pool of hurt
crying "help me"
pathetic and out of control
endlessly wanting }
