Behind my eyes

I keep my truth from you.

No one enters

this secret place,

the barrier only I embrace

Time is fleeting now

they say.

Take time to look inside

and face ... the change.

Dig down deep

to find the man I thought I was.

A dog on the treadmill panting,

the master pulls the leash, laughing.

Now I can¹t remember why

I needed to run, needed to try so hard.



One more time around

is all I ask for now.

a star to steer by, wind to

take me home again.



³Work hard in life boy,

there¹s paradise in the end.²

Year after year we struggle to gain

the happiness our parents never claimed.

They told us all we had to do

was do what we¹re told, buy what was sold,

³Invest in gold, and never get old.²



One more time around

is all I ask for now,

a star to steer by, wind to

take me home again
