Elucidating Questions

If every note was like the wind

And went to rap upon you door

And just remind you you’re something every time you don’t think so

I do not have the answers for the past

And when I have them for the future

They are but thoughts until the future meets them and as we pass into the present I see them

They see me

That’s what that meant

If only the future was clear

But my dear

Even the past is not

For our memories become more clouded every time we touch them

The only true clear thing is right now

Whatever right now is

This strange constant moment between past and future

This Time

The undeniable ways we are caught between the gears of past and future

Each grinds us together

Into what we are for a moment

But a moment

Ah, yes, Chester

A precious moment

His music came into my head that time

He’s with me in ways I cannot explain

I’d rather he was still here

We accept what we cannot change

It is all these things in life that could change but don’t that madden me

This madness

Unknown, but to a few

Oh if I had the power

What I wouldn’t do to these people who are destroying this place

My internal fires are unimportant

Another day is gone

And you are so much more than you ever let yourself believe

And I am trapped in Time

Killing time

Aren’t we all

But from the sounds of the enjoyment around me

I’m the one trapped in it alone

I’m alone

This hand of mine that can’t make a move

Gently I lay down to sleep

And pray I’ll finally find the tomorrow when my solitude ends

I wish this was a dream so I could take flight

And go to where my heart is
