Emotion Dough

Taking something out of sight to hide the rain

Taking something out of sight to ignore familiar pains

Anything to keep running the circuit without complaining

Taking something to hide my disappointment

I just need some time to plan my time

I just need a way away from dumb numb whining

*

Been feeling like a pointless drive with a broken radio, no scenery ahead

Some days I feel like I’m on the right track but mostly feel any effort is already dead

Pains and headaches carefully escorting a confused man to bed

I read Jesus’ words but feel like I quickly forget everything said

So I take something to lower the volume of bold voices feeding off of fear overfed

Asking God if he saves hard-headed men

*

I don’t want to live life waiting to die.

I don’t want to live letting life pass me by.
