Myths
Unveiling Life's Mythical Symphony
Lyrics
Suddenly my senses slip away
Suddenly losing awareness or perception.
What is it they always say
Questioning common advice or clichés.
Turn another page?
Considering a new perspective or direction in life.
But everything I see
Observing a world filled with overly sweet comparisons.
Is full of saccharine similes
Expressions that cause emotional pain.
That makes my spirit ache, and now I feel it everyday
Feeling the emotional burden daily.
It's the dizzy spell I meet at the edges of belief
Experiencing disorientation at the boundaries of belief.
And it's the sound of my heart pounding
Feeling the intense heartbeat in moments of fear.
Swelling up in me when I'm too scared to leave
Heart swelling when afraid to take action.
It's a hallelujah
A moment of praise or celebration.
And I'm learning how to sing
Learning to find joy in difficult circumstances.
There's a quiet chorus
A subtle, subdued group expressing emotions.
Bleeding into everything
Influencing every aspect of life.
And someday soon the day is going to come
Anticipating a significant future event.
My flickering flame, dancing for rain that doesn't pour
A struggling flame seeking something elusive.
Chasing shimmers on the desert floor
Pursuing fleeting experiences in a barren landscape.
And I keep coming back for more
Repeating a cycle despite challenges.
But there's no garden from the seeds
No positive outcomes from initial efforts.
And I'm starving for meaning
Longing for deeper significance in life.
But there's a weight and there's a worth
Recognizing value and consequence in personal narratives.
To every myth you make to kill the constant ache
Creating stories to cope with persistent pain.
And there's a hallelujah
A repeated moment of celebration.
And I'm learning how to sing
Continuing to find joy in adversity.
There's a growing chorus
A gradually expanding group influencing everything.
Bleeding into everything
Permeating all aspects of life.
And someday soon the day is going to come
Expecting a future event of great significance.
And you'll be buried in the weight
Bearing the weight of challenges.
Gather all your rage
Gathering strength in the face of anger.
And take a swing
Taking decisive action to overcome obstacles.
Until you find your own way
Persisting until discovering a personal path.
Carry everything into another day
Carrying experiences into a new day.
