Inventing lives
They're constructed in time
Existing as a guise
As a way to fully satisfy
To go the other way
Or stay still another day
(Seek to find)
When hope and fear elide
(Fear elide)
Inventing lives
There's no future for me here
The consternation
And lingering drear
I have to know if I can be
What I tell them I am
Who I need to be
(Seek to find)
When hope and fear elide
(Seek to find)
When hope and fear collide
To find your way
To write your story
A clever rhyme
It's the now
This day
Continue and keep direction
The smell of fresh paint
It permeates this space
What happened before
Has been wiped for a clean slate
I've come so far
With every step I take
A cautionary tale
But I will prevail
(Seek to find)
When hope and fear elide
(Seek to find)
When hope and fear collide
To find your way
To write your story
A clever rhyme
It's the now
This day
Continue and keep direction
To find your way
To write your story
A clever rhyme
It's the now
This day
Continue and keep direction
