Traversing though the emotional spectrum
Saturated in sunshine then
Dark clouds appear when you least expect them
White lace and promises
Tattered and torn
Do you remember when you believed in something?
Do you know why you were born?
Even in the quietest moments
You can hear the roar of impending
Travesty or majesty
Depending on the pure chance of circumstance
On which door you've selected
On whether or not you're soul protected
No triumphs
Never thriving
Nothing more
Than just surviving
Always searching
For that second chance
To make things right
To dance that dance
To walk the walk
Across the line so thin
Try, try, try
Do not give in, never give in
And one day soon you just might win
Win, win, win, win, win, win, win
If that is what you really want
But it seems not
It seems not
Melancholy and exaltation
So much to say, no forum to say it in
Immersed in daily detours
Straight out of the spa and into the sewers
Your course was set but you went askew
You've got self-sabotaging tendencies
Evident in what you choose
You're going to get dirty - that's a guarantee
The devil, so flirty, will bring you to your knees
Yet despite every knock down
You'll find new resolve, clarity, after all
A breakthrough is not a breakthrough
Till you've hit the wall at full speed
Melancholy and Exaltation
The miracle is in the mix
So keep stirring things up
Keep on doing it tough
Till less than you wanted
Becomes more than enough
