Ordinary Life

It's a little after 5 in the morning
and sleep is just denying that we've ever met
so I keep my mind
best not to lose it all just yet
there is much to do
cannot afford to keep putting it aside
as hours turn to dust
like tiny freckles floating out of my sight
i've nothing to hide
except for the honesty in me
for there is always need to tell a lie

Caught up between the black and the white
it's this place I know that I just can't forget
there within the void
that silence was once my comfort
as changes take place
is this all that i have to look out for
scattered thoughts and lust
which somehow comes across unlike as before
just how much of more
is required just to be enough
in all my honesty it's still a lie

Where is the truth in the world
where are the answers to the questions I hold
where is the door to redemption
where some have found
in the shadows of the failures of the rest
where is the ordinary life

It is now almost 9 in the morning
as sleep remains a lost just hoping to be found
hidden in the clouds
with both my feet still on the ground
what is left to do
needless to say i'm taking back my pride
from my tangled lucid mind
I draw reason as my conscience opens wide
standing side to side
across the hypocritical me
i've not met with the choices in the lies

Where is the truth in the world
where are the answers to the questions I hold
where is the door to redemption
where some have found
in the shadows of the failures of the rest
where is the ordinary life
