something's missing

something's missing
in everything i do
a link
a page
a word or two
but it never goes further
than just over there
tell me where
the bridges are
maybe it's syntax
maybe it's language
maybe i don't fit
into this landscape
come out come out wherever you are
don't hide in the shadows
or behind the door
for the time is short
and the cost is high
something's missing
and i don't
know why
but if it's missing
it can be found
so unlock
the gate
before
the sun goes down

something's missing
but that means you know
there's an empty space
where something belongs

walk alone

sometimes it feels like
there's no way home
when you lose the trail
between your heart
and the road

the sun sinks
in a different horizon
and try as i may
i don't know where to find it

and i
walk this line
like all the rest
some find their feet
some fall
that's all
sometimes no matter what you say
there's just
no way home

when the detour sign is posted
loud and clear
and the path ahead
is dusty-rocky
i will bear my fate
i will bide my time
and pray
my dreams
come to something

yes i walk this line
like all the rest
some find their feet
some fall
that's all
sometimes no matter how hard you try
there's just no way to know what's next
i would take my chances with the best
but no matter how you word it or explain
sometimes
there's just no way home

so i'll set out in the morning
with the dawn
and hope the new day greets me with an open sky
when i look back from my destination
i hope i will say
that i didn't have to walk alone
even though
there's no way home

open heart

i approach things with an open heart
open eyes and open mind
let you in as far as you will go
give you everything i have
but when the air grows heavy
with your discontent
and anything i say
is used in vain
this in when the door shuts
and i walk away from the pain
no comment
you lost an
open heart

don't ask the questions
that have already been answered
time and again
maybe you just couldn't see
maybe you weren't listening
but some day someone will
be able to take
and give
i'm not changing my ways and means
just to suit your needs
no comment
you lost an
open heart

how many times have i tried to reason
how many times have i set the rhyme
how many times have i seen the beauty in you
but you continued to be blind

this road runs in a circle
no beginning no end
there is nothing you can do to me
that will stop me moving forward
and i hope that on your journey
you will find your source of light
you have taught me to have patience
perseverence through a starless night
so walk on and don't look back
no more wasted explanations
no coment
you lost
an open heart
