Want it so badly
You can’t get enough of it
Body cries and aches for it
But when it’s in your reach
You can’t take it

Lucid as one’s logic
Untouchable as shadows
Unattainable as Love
It’s vital like the day and night
Like moonlight on a midnight road
Or wit in a match of weary words

All the world can beg for it
All the world cannot obtain it
Like Hell for me and Heaven for you
It’s a dream we will ourselves to dream
A whimsical thought that haunts our waking eyes

Though we slave away
Beat our backs with Time
Carry on our wayward paths
We close our eyes and pray:

As I lay down in my bed
I pray to God I wake up dead
For all the tears I care to weep
Will never let me get to sleep
