Bemused and humbled
I have come to seek a cure
for all the madness
I endeavor to endure
for all my hunger
all my greed and lust and pain
this world is driving me insane
I can't remember
when I last felt well at ease
would you explain to me
my difficulty please
I've tried forgetting
I have tried to comprehend
I've made believe that I pretend
And as you sit there
as if fashioned from ice
has any part of this begun
to percolate through your skies
It's your indifference
I find hard to reconcile
Your cold and distant features
haunting me the while
Is there compassion
in the way you disregard
I find believing you so hard
And as you lie there
like an icon belied
I can’t rely on you though
heaven knows I've tried
