This is not the place where dreams take flight This won't be the day ambitions are realized The tired lightsource, spring escaping me This is not the place where dreams take flight In this earthly confine hours linger by "Any place but here", we repeat in sullen tone What's left to strive for in a garden of fear? Clashing wills, tired days Constant pressure heals no wound We find ourselves begging for release Lessons expensively learned, you pass by in time of need Carve a word or two, quench the noise We've come a long way to be wayward still Adrift in endless sea, a companion of silence
