Restless

The sky seemed far away I tried to make sense of a thoughtless day No disappointments Stale words always know what to say I took the train out to Olympia I realized once again how big the world was I had forgotten how to breathe We sat on the mountain and it seemed like I could touch the sky No distractions and I thought about the word freedom And what it really meant for me Because seems sometimes I don't feel so free When I'm stuck here in the city I fell asleep on the side of the mountain And I awoke to a peaceful morning I took a deep breath as I stared across the canyon Exhausted, hard concrete screaming my name Another year for me of worthless destiny I'd been waiting for the perfect time to scream And so I scream While holding on and waiting for a better dream I've let so many slip through my fingers As I watch the clock fade into the morning So I smoked another cigarette As the sun rose over the city But it didn't shine on me Sleep has never made me happy What's left for me, another lonely winter night Street lights and a sleepless dream Dismantled words of indifference fall like rain Immersed into reality We all search for inspiration Sometimes it's really hard to find But I found it on the mountain Now I'm back and I feel like I never left Sometimes I don't know where to go A friend once told me to follow my dreams And lately I've been asking myself What does it mean to be free? Restless, someone tell me what to believe I waste my days on an old fantasy That's not the way it used to be
