Those words

Always escaping from my grasp

Feeding the burning frustration of my mind

For those words I can\'t seem to find

What do I need to say

To keep them moving on

Before this day fades away

Before they\'re gone

These words

These stupid, idiotic words

Intent on running away from me

I chase them down the alleyways

Within the sewers of doubt

Along the rooftops of memory

Under the bridge of the forgotten

The words I need

Those who I want to lead

But those words

Those brash, indecisive words

They run

and hide

and run

and run

To a place I cannot reach them no matter how hard I try

Leaving me alone in this desolate land

Where they reach out their hands

But I cannot take them

Forced to watch it all break away

All while I can find nothing to say

All while I watch those words run away

 

One day, they\'ll be mine once again

I will craft myself to be worthy of their respect

I will purge these chaining fears from my heart

Those words are the key to tomorrow

The key to ending their sorrow

And one day, I\'ll find them once again
