about

When life is not enough...

lyrics

Attempts to stretch reality
Faults that make no sense to me.
A bit disheveled I admit
Alone and laughing at my wit

The key it fits the lock it turns
Embrace or waste the time, I’ve learned.
Now here I sit outside the door
Wasted wanting something
More.

Well, while I lie in open air and feel the pressures everywhere
The outside world is callin’ me, “get out, come back, see what I see.”

Starrin’ through the fish eye view
The world’s inviting but askew.
And all the fishes in the sea
Are strangers though not strange to me.


I’d like to be swimmin’ free
But I fear my sight’s betraying me.
Again I sit outside the door.
Again I ache for something
More.

Well, while I lie in open air and feel the pressures everywhere
The outside world is callin’ me, “get out, come back, see what I see.”
