Where Is Satisfaction?
As I continue the road of life, the river of satisfaction runs dry
The mist dissipates and the air becomes thin
I drift in and out of consciousness, no sense of pride in my veins
Satisfaction ran within me but it loses its taste
My motivation to retain the satisfaction I need
Maybe it will take my mind off of the pain I’ve been feeling
The pressure in my heart gets higher and higher with every day that passes
And the hunger for this satisfaction remains as a famine
Addicted to the life I want to live takes to me to these dreams
A voyage amongst the greatness I want to complete
But then I open my eyes with the sense of defeat
I feel safest when I’m asleep, Nothing goes wrong
A nightmare entails the movies I want to be on
I awake and the rolling tides of life drown me
I lose my luster my skin turns white and my eyes darker
If people had my eyes they’d see nothing but the darkness
We try to kill time but time is killing us
My age makes me wonder if the satisfaction will come
As time rolls by
We die remaining curious
I’m trying to swim in the river, and not drown like anyone else
I can’t keep swimming the distance is too much
But I tell myself you have to swim another day to see what happens next
Satisfaction no satisfaction as I see another day, my curiosity remains kept.
