Becoming the Cause

from The Horror Show (2013) by Ian Gordon

lyrics

cleanse the filthy heart of me
i wait for the moment to draw near
i gather strength
behind the trees

autumn leaves come crashing down
here in the haze i'm fuelled by wrath
burning deep inside of me

i look above and see my face
in disguise i see no trace
an underwhelming feeling
empty is my head

and so to seek the mighty high
in the dark i may just find
out in the public eye
my bashfulness sets in

- shy -

my broken heart is out to play again
i'm a new romantic in a sea of dreams
never content with the notion that i am fulfilled inside
i'm reaching out for that extra something i believe to be outside

like circus angels on their tightropes thin
their tiny bodies
they come crashing down
and only then do they realise and stop to look around
come life or death they feel the need to risk it for the crowd
such is life

time is lost but my mind is engaged
i'm playing games
i'm stepping out from the trees
ready to do good deeds...

broken hearts are on the line again
stuck in time i have to find a way
all i have is on the line today
something strange has got a hold on me

stardust dealers
sell their stolen dreams
and desperate vagrants
nurse their swollen knees

and still i wander aimlessly
i'm not the only one
i'll find a place to test this dust
i'll find a place to rest

twilight merchants know my face
they whisper my name
i'm stepping out from the trees
ready to do good deeds...

i've lost my bottle think i'll go on home
trace the face of night another day
hibernate until the fear has gone
something strange has got a hold of me...
