Feet Of Clay

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

Tell me, will I find courage once again?
Will someone help me mend the pieces
Left from a broken dream
What's the meaning of this life
That I'm not able to control

Please let me choose a different ride
No more this one that forces me 
To see faces pass away
Lose their meaning and their name 
Once forgotten, fades away

Can I skip a line or two
Is there a place I can be going to
Someone, somewhere, some eternity away
Channel my efforts
To an obsession I call "love"
If I miss, what's left to do 
When time takes my dreams away

Have my calls now been answered?
Taking away all of my opponents
Leaving just the hardest task to me
But it's a start and maybe
I know someone who could help

But as the reasons are divided
Into those of my control
And those that help my cause
I fail to make the contact
And then to stay in charge for once
There are still some who'd understand
Could I just tell them my story

Leaving would mean killing me
Which left my problems all alive
Living is the only chance
To see if dreams come true
Anyway I've never seen
Why I should leave
When there are things
You get for free

Lay my life into the hands of fate
Please let me join the right side
And the person that I need
I was shown in many nights her face
Even when I tried to let her go
Or was it her own spell she's woven
To make me see what she can't say

So let us miss each other
Afraid of being hurt
So let us avoid the other
Afraid of being heard

This is not how it should be
From all that I was taught
But this was not the only lie
And maybe all is naught

Eventually I will forget once more
And drift nicely into sleep
To see this image once again
To get the feeling we're destined
Though she's much more alive
Than I have ever been
