The Take

All you ever wanted 
looks lackluster from here
see the green fields in the distance
until the haze, it clears
featuring a desert
sand and grey and tears
a barren endless wasteland
complete with all 
your fears
 
Maybe it's the dreaming
that makes you lie awake
the search for inner meaning
the give the give 
the take
 
I don't know if you can change it
your lost and weary soul
that wandering inner ache
you never can let go
escape escape escape
someday you might know
 
Wake up, there he is again
 images
that face
damit damit damit
why did you go away
lost in dreams
you'll never reach
in a want 
you can't escape
 
feel it feel it
presure
your heart
it throbs and aches
maybe this is just
life
the give the give
the take
 
somewhere in the distance
maybe there's a place 
to spin and spin and lie down
and truly feel 
at peace 
escape escape 
escape  

the give
the give
the take
