Consciousness of the problem is all but half of the battle
It's the will to change that one must formulate

I pose with a stretch
Riverside park bench
Under dressed for the occasion
Suffocated to the wind
Metaphorically comparing my purpose to the peace bridge

Like all I've ever been is a connection
The dread of the road trip

Towering anxiety
Suspended above a body
Of the same stuff that flows through me

That has been absent as of late
And now I'm well aware of why
I've been stagnant paralyzed
I feel nothing for anything else other than your eyes
How they reflect mine
How they constantly move me closer to the person I promise I'm trying to be

Oh how lately it's been evident
I've been letting everyone I know
Down, down, down
And lately I've been taking hits
For people that they'd rather me not be around
Around, around, around
I promise I'm different now, believe it or not
I'm right here without you now
I'm still lost, I'm still gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
I'm still...
