Post 258: Flashlight (9/28/09)

Flashlight (8/19/09 c, 9/28/09 w)

Is it midnight or twilight

That’s sneaking up on me
Either way I can’t see
What lies in front of me
I can’t find me way out of today

I need a flashlight

So I can see it right
The path in front of me
The turn that I must take
Take to make me the man I’m supposed to be
I need a flashlight
So I can see it right

All I can see

Are random shapes floating in front of me
Never sure if something is real or just an illusion
I need a map to cure my confusion
Not sure if something is in my way
Or maybe some type of gate telling me where I should go

I need a flashlight

So I can see it right
The path in front of me
The turn that I must take
Take to make me the man I’m supposed to be
I need a flashlight
So I can see it right

So much lies just out of reach

For me
I’m not sure how much time
How much time I’ve got to put things together
Or if I ever will
The night isn’t still
But everything is just outside my reach

I can’t tell if it’s a clue
Or if it is someone that I can refer to as you
In some distant moment
Where everything is clear

I need a flashlight

So I can see it right
The path in front of me
The turn that I must take
Take to make me the man I’m supposed to be
I need a flashlight
So I can see it right
