I remember the endless longing

that called inside of me

from fountains of expression

trying to break free



Nothing left to say

when the walls give way



Still I can faintly recall

the subtle purity

of youthfull inspiration

and insecurity



Nothing left to say

when the child finds his way



Pride and the drive that started the dream

turned in time to an endless obsession

Caught in a vicious circle of compulsion

possessed by the goal and the possession



Desires bind the truth to secrecy

but behind the aspirations I see

a life devoted to blind ambition

and a mortal man searching for eternity



Behind the desires

and the wall that gave way

there's a forgotten cause

consumed by the day



Behind the ambitions

of a child who found his way

there's a cold realization

that our deeds die with the day

And behind the disguise

of a man with a cause

there's a child screaming

with nothing left to say



Paralyzed by inhibitions

and indecisions

What once was a release

is now a prison
