Impatient

12:00

boredom set in

it could be another existence

it could be another state of mind

but it's all the same

futile dreams 

of a dying youth

a vicious circle pulls me under

pull me down, friend?

I'd like to see you try

they tell me not to do this

am I two extremes?

see me by day, and there's an unreal glow

but on the weekends -

is this just one of those days?

See the dreams

they burn into my soul

the only thing I don't have patience with is success

it's not that I want it, now

but I want to know it will happen

I could reach a place that would keep me

sidetracked, and happy enough to forget

but I am youth

I want a piece of the world

I feel an element of urgency

something is amiss

I'm a dreamer -

but I'm getting somewhere, aren't I?

further than the others, no?

I can't get by by the light alone

it takes strength

and skill

perhaps I could sleep my way to the top

but think of the mornings after

and I'd rather not be remembered by how good 

I was in bed

that doesn't make an album

the only time I want to be yours is on stage,

thank you
