lyrics

I've been sitting here
while the hours disappear
a pen in my hand and a paper sky
a head that's filled with images but nothing to write

So let's start anew
from a different point of view
an unexpected angle, something not too trite
a rendition with a twist but it's not quite right

What's a masterpiece without the synergy
of metaphor and meter and a hint of simile
crafted so it communicates
a multi-layered concept to which anyone relates

I lose myself in theory
detail and technicality
endless possibility
kills my creativity
and although my end rhymes are strong
what good is a half-written song?

Should I rearrange
this motif, should I change
violins to saxophone
melodious to monotone?

And I still have to decide
acoustic or amplified?
Questions scream in stereo
no wonder this is moving slow

What's a masterpiece without the synergy
of metaphor and meter and a hint of simile
crafted so it consolidates
a multi-layered concept to which anyone relates

I lose myself in theory
detail and technicality
endless possibility
kills my creativity
and although my end rhymes are strong
who cares for a half-written song?
