i took a long hard look

i took a? long hard look

at the heroes of my youth. and their antics on the page there on

can no longer sustain me

ever since i was a boy

they brought me joy

but the shackles of the way i was

can no longer contain me

it was exciting

and enlightening

reverberating through my dreams

goodbye to reality

and set a course for wayward schemes. now i can't sing

i can't feel

i don't know what is real. i was travelling through the past for years

tell me what's my destination

now the past is gone

i don't even have a song

we've not sung before

to a closing door

tell me what's my situation?

i saw the film

i lived the book

i got the haircut

that's all it took

but now i know it's going to take

a little more now i'm awake

i took along hard look

now i'm waiting for the phone to ring

i glance at the inbox

is there any tantalising mail there in

there was lust in my restless heart

but now i know what true love means

goodbye to reality

and set sail for dreamsy
