Chasing the Evasive

I wish I could communicate

The thoughts inside my head

Without opening my mouth

There’s just far too much to explain

Inside this crazy mess

Why can’t you figure that out?

I’m chasing the evasive,

Navigating unaided

And every day’s a struggle

Battles raging deep within

I can’t run but can’t give in

It’s a war I cannot win

I feel like giving up sometimes

Taking the easy road

Letting the ghosts come for me

But at times there’s fight left inside

Stubbornness takes a hold

Things will get better, surely

I’m chasing the evasive,

Navigating unaided

And every day’s a struggle

With evil creeping closer

It’s around every corner

And just will not blow over

I’m searching for finality

In lieu of happiness

That never did arrive.

I’m done with all this agony,

Fear, pain and distress

Is it time to say goodbye?

I’m chasing the evasive,

Navigating unaided

And every day’s a struggle

Fending off the icy grip

Even if we deserved it,

Would what is left be worth it?

I’m chasing the evasive,

Navigating unaided

And every day’s a struggle

Battles raging deep within

I can’t run but can’t give in

It’s a war I cannot win
