Losing Battle


I’m just an average guy without any more dreams,
But once I filled the night with passionate screams.
But so sick. And so bored. Just a little ignored,
I’m just sweet incomplete, know I want something more.
So I come out of town with no promise but hope,
Find myself falling down and losing the rope.
So I’m gone. And I’m tired. But I’m feeling inspired,
And I think more my confusion than you as the liar.

And here I go again,
Like nothing ever taught me a thing.
Forgetting all the pain that painlessness brings.
But maybe there’s a chance,
Fantasies gave hope in death.
Like all these little notions that life needs no more than breath.

So fleeting. So fast. How does this thing pass?
A safe haven I find, let’s hope it can last.
I forgot what you are, a mystery at best,
So toss me aside and put me down with the rest.
So dead. So weak. So hard just to speak,
Throwing me down for feeling so meek.
I’ll lose myself in song, and the cadence subsides,
I’ll be flying forever, won’t you come for the ride?

And here I go again,
Like nothing ever taught me a thing.
Forgetting all the pain that painlessness brings.
But maybe there’s a chance,
Fantasies gave hope in death.
Like all these little notions that life needs no more than breath.
