“I’ll keep your dreams
You pay attention for me
As strange as it seems,
I’d rather dissolve
Than have you ignore me
The ground may be moving fast
But I tied my boots to a broken mast”
MGMT – Congratulations
That verse comes close to poetic justice for the way I feel.
In my own words:
“I’m trying to capture the moment
make it keep with the going
the going is gone fast without us knowing
and were in the moment following
That’s not where you’re at
ahead one step but far in the back
and I’m stepping pace
step into the race
the trophy is mine for taking first place
But the disconnect came
and the bells just rang and rang
in the moment to hang
the handle failed to come off again
So my contempt against
myself without defense
came in the form of loneliness
Pride has it’s way
convincing the heart to stay
stronger than I was yesterday
The handle will come
somehow I just know
embrace raising above the below
Fear inside the heart
diluted urgency to depart
so the chase continues into the dark
Urgency says stay in the race
meet yourself face to face
if you really want first place
you understand the risk to take
Reward is beautiful
patron of being youthful
and the keys you hold
open the world
Gentlemen start your momentum”
