Muse

Deep in the land of my conscious inner thought
Lies a place of refuge for emotion and art
But my muse is gone; the pain is on its way
The valley is empty, the passion has strayed
I searched but she’s gone absent beyond the walls
Of the castle (I) built for us both to belong

Have you seen her, a woman with eyes of green and grey,
More piercing then staring at the sun of summer day
Her hair is bright, lustrous and red
Cascading like a river right down through its bed

And her laughter would bring light into any room
If you heard it you’d know she’d be forever true

I take a step back, no you couldn’t tell me,
Where to find the girl who inspired my world

So this journey continues, however much I’m blue (blew)
Like a candle snuffed at dawn I flicker and then adieu

(Break)

I’m near death, crawling and bereft
Of anybody who could possibly bridge this cleft

In my heart, in my soul – the rivers run dry
No rain supplied, all hope Shanghaied

Every step: pain, needles in the brain
The blood in my veins leaking out to stain

The footsteps that I leave behind
Pressed in (to) the ground like dreams denied

But this gift is flawed, the one that God gave me
Write with his right and with the left he gave sight

Into madness and death, without love and yes
The pain is excruciating

But there’s nothing I can do
For every path in my mind, leads to you
You, who left me, beaten and scared
Of ever leaving this sick torture I’ve wed
I’m dying, I’m crying, lying on the floor
But you’ve turned your back and I am no more
