Turn To You
Turning to You: A Tale of Lost Smiles and Rusted Roads
Lyrics
When the days feel long, you sleep em all through
Feeling that the days are prolonged, and you sleep through them.
You're sleeping hours by the many, but you dream 'em by the few
Sleeping for extended hours, but dreaming seems scarce.
There's no coin for the spending, and surely none to spare
No money available for spending, and none to spare.
You try to give all that you've got, but it seems there's nothing there
Struggling to give your all, but it feels like there's nothing in return.
There's a map up on the wall that's just as stuck as you
A stuck map on the wall symbolizing feeling trapped.
You're throwing darts at destinations letting lady luck choose
Randomly choosing destinations, relying on luck.
You've turned to booze, bedding, gambling with hands bound to lose
Resorting to vices like drinking, gambling, and bedding, despite inevitable losses.
Now my hands are tied behind me think it's best I turn to you
Feeling constrained, considering turning to someone for support.
Time took my smile
Time has taken away happiness.
Money took my time
Money has consumed time.
Tried to make the most of both
Attempting to make the most of time and money but losing both.
And lost em both along the line
Losing both time and money along life's journey.
While I'm still standing, with nothing left to lose
Standing with nothing to lose.
Nowhere left to turn I think it's best I turn to you
Feeling at a point of no return, considering seeking support.
Now I'm some truck along the backroad, that seems never moves
Stagnation, like a truck on a backroad that never moves.
That's rusted all to red now and running on fumes
Being worn out and running on empty.
You're the light inside my car telling me I'm running out
A metaphorical light inside, indicating guidance in tough times.
Never thought to even look passed every station in this town
Overlooking potential solutions or opportunities in the current situation.
I've turned to pride, luck, and prayer none could make me move
Turning to pride, luck, and prayer but unable to move forward.
Now my pride has turned to shame I think it's best I turn to you
Pride turning into shame, considering seeking support.
Time took my smile
Time causing a loss of happiness.
Money took my time
Money consuming precious time.
Tried to make the most of both
Trying to maximize both time and money but losing both in the process.
And lost em both along the line
Losing both time and money along life's journey (repeated).
While I'm still standing, with nothing left to lose
Standing with nothing to lose (repeated).
Nowhere left to turn I think it's best I turn to you . . .
Feeling at a point of no return, considering seeking support (repeated).
