ELEGY

Who is this hurting mother?

I don't want to be her now

Who in the hell's that sad reflection?

How did I lose myself?

How many time I walk the river, wondering what life's for

Sobbing beneath a staid performance

Too scared to let it out

Duty calls...duty calls...

Who is that hurting daughter,

going down the rabbit hole?

Falling into a crushing darkness.

Shedding the skins of the soul

How many times I walk the river

wanting to lose myself

Weight of an overcoat of sorrow

Too sensitive for this world

Duty calls...duty calls...

Time to do the drop off

Time to make the meals

Time to greet the neighbors

Be a perfect ten

Smiling exterior, but nervous and distressed

Plodding on this treadmill, take another pill

Start another morning, wake to the alarm

Rise up in the darkness, get inside the car

Join the rank and file, thousands in the flow

Minnows on the freeway, on and on it goes

I don't want to go, I don't want to live this

I don't want this life, there is more than this

Who is that serious child, the one left alone?

Mother's in the kitchen crying again, no use to ask for help

So it goes...so it goes...

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
