I starved in my soul From summer time cold And lost all faith 'til the Crowd died down, Smothered me to drown in this callous canyon Yeah, I lost my way again The lion's den roared in my head, too loud Feeding myself the same warn out lines A lifetime of lies Has whittled away in my young tired mind So silent, diamond silent Crystal clear flakes of thought Washed away, swallowed whole Stolen slowly, as childhood breaks my bow The cradle strikes softly, swings low And I sit safe in my center Of all this madness, Frustration still sinks me Not able to capture the purity I so briefly acquainted myself with Oh God, it was so perfect for a while Unsoiled, pristine, too immaculate to stain Like that ultra-vision night When the rocket soared timeless Out of sight Leaving sparkles in my eyes that sting And I quake, beauty soaked, crying too hard when I starve in my own soul...
Reason for writing:
This is currently one of my favourite pieces and I enjoy reading it,
so I thought I would share it. I think that most people will
be able to acquate their own meaning to it, it's universal.
