“Heat Wave”

4 90 days and 90 nights
I’ll sweat until I find the light.

My conscience knows
What’s right and what’s wrong,
But my heart will lead
Me either way.
Life’s stripped me down,
No body, nor clothes,
I’m raw, I’m shivering in the heat.
But the urgency of my eyes
Triggers guilt inside
My heart is still breaking.

5,000 years in the cellar
and all of my wine is gone.
And all I can think about
Is a bottle of sherry in my hand.
If I would drink would I lose what I’m gifted?
Would the sun set if I kept my head lifted?
If I close my eyes and don’t try will I find hope now?

I’ve wandered around this city
Looking 4 friends
But no one seems 2 understand
How I feel or what is real
Or what it pretends 2 be.
Is there an answer 2 these questions?
Cause if there is
The horizon’s so unreachable,
Impalpable, just palliate me,
I no longer care 4 the cure.
I have thirsted 4 so many years.

5,000 years in the cellar
and all of my wine is gone.
And all I can think about
Is a bottle of sherry in my hand.
If I would drink would I lose what I’m gifted?
Would the sun set if I kept my head lifted?
If dawn brings the day
And the dusk brings the nightfall,
What brings the rain
That I’ve begged and I’ve prayed 4?
Where do I go when I need
2 find my soul?
If I close my eyes and don’t try will I find hope now?
Or will I be left in a heat wave?

Heat wave.
Heat wave.

This should be the time of my life.
Is this the time of my life?
Been running around and all I find
On every corner is a stranger here
A shadow lurking, talking, saying
Want this, believe that
U know u need it.
And I can’t scream,
My throat is dry.
Show me the well.
All I want 2 find
Is the time of my life.
