Chasing an Illusion - Larkin Grimm

River of concrete

Forest of iron bars

If I could see the stars

Maybe I could dream

My heart is empty

My soul is empty too

I feel dead inside

Don’t you?

Because it’s never the right time

Never the right love for you

I drag you out to the edge of the water

I don’t want you, I don’t accept you

And I don’t need your «wisdom»

My heart is empty

My soul is empty too

I feel dead inside

Don’t you?

Slowly claim the one that died

Floating across the river wide

In a canoe made of dreams

Drifting like the fallen leaves

Broken apart and humbled

Let my passion burn out

Even cement will crumble

Eroded by the rain of doubt

Waves come and waves go

The river reverses her flow

Brackish tides mix black water

With the cold fresh river

How can love flow

How could you not know?

This is not your time, time, time

My heart is empty

My soul is empty too

I feel dead inside

Don’t you?

My world was never safe
