Forced
It's too cold to come out
from under the covers
&
I'm too lonely to let go
of intimate lovers
So can I convince you
to dream a little longer
Just for a moment;
Until I feel a little stronger
CHORUS:
It's all right there
I have to let it out
Got to let go
of the reasonable doubt
If I want to hold on
to what I'm about
I've got to let go
& find another rout
Chasing illusions
thru the thickest of haze
Barely able to loose
myself in this maze
Exhausted from dreaming
I'm loosing composure
on the verge of a melt-down
from over exposure
The terror at home
makes it safe for deception
to blanket the truth
& block your reception
Midway through the madness
I see a conclusion
which ends with an era
that thrives on confusion
So, you came by
to complete
our disconnection
Filling my seat
with your misplaced
affection
Now
your wondering away
In a trail of smoke
Leaving me speechless
because
You don't want to choke
You're in my way
Can't you see where I'm going
I'm headed for disaster
without ever knowing
I can't get in the back door
so share some of your ink
so I can sneak in a statement
that might make you think...
