Scraps
My heart is yearning
But I don't know what for
I can feel the ache
I'm wanting something more
Don't know what it is
But I'd give anything to have it
Like an addict with the crave
And I'm fiending for a hit
A pain that permeates
Like a fire in my veins
Feelings of discontent
Permanent like stains
How can I find something
If I don't know what I seek
Cant move straight ahead
When the path is so oblique
So I keep on searching
For who knows what
With doubt in my heart
And pain in my gut
Maybe I'll find it
If only by chance
As I walk around aimless
In this open expanse
Hoping for anything
That can set my heart free
Maybe some clue
That I just didn't see
To make me feel whole
To fill in the gaps
Piece something together
From all of these scraps
But I don't know what for
I can feel the ache
I'm wanting something more
Don't know what it is
But I'd give anything to have it
Like an addict with the crave
And I'm fiending for a hit
A pain that permeates
Like a fire in my veins
Feelings of discontent
Permanent like stains
How can I find something
If I don't know what I seek
Cant move straight ahead
When the path is so oblique
So I keep on searching
For who knows what
With doubt in my heart
And pain in my gut
Maybe I'll find it
If only by chance
As I walk around aimless
In this open expanse
Hoping for anything
That can set my heart free
Maybe some clue
That I just didn't see
To make me feel whole
To fill in the gaps
Piece something together
From all of these scraps
