Melting Thoughts

Seems I know by heart
Every detail on this street
Seems so predictable
Total strangers meet
It must be in me
Fear of true revealing
Something's rusty, something's stiff
In this system of my seeing

Should have told him this, I
Should have showed him that I
The recycling lullaby
Makes me feel apart

There is only one way to be right
At this fight against time
There is only one way to be mighty as time
I should become flexible as time

Waiting for a change
Something great to come
Yet everything remains the same, the same
And I'm just waiting like a bum
Am I doing it all wrong?
Am I not tuned for life's song?
Curiosity can hear
I am begging to be pealed off layers

Should have told him this, I
Should have showed him that I
The familiar lullaby
Comes not from my heart

There is only one way to be right
At this fight against time
There's only one thing that could enlight
Old frustration
I should become flexible as time

I should
I shouldn't, I should
