I'm tired of staring at an empty page
Hoping that words of sage
Can change my anger and pent-up rage
Into calm control...
Oh, how I need some.
I listen for the voice inside
To invigorate and capture wide
All of my frustrations
And replace my stubborn pride.
Thirty seconds is all I have
To diffuse the escalation
Reframe the way things are
Confirm the sun is still our star
This is it! Can I cool the fire?
As my voice rises higher
Focused breath don't fail me now
Please give me calm control.
If you remain deeply disappointed
Then say so
I will try to answer your concern
as you sway to and fro.
And dredge up what is underneath
What is below
And try to take control of
My musical tempo.
Thirty seconds is all I have
To diffuse the escalation
Reframe the way things are
Confirm the sun is still our star.
This is it! Can I cool the fire?
As my voice rises higher
Focused breath don't fail me now
Please give me calm control.
I am looking at the scribbled lines
Ink smears that I hardly know
Stains produced from my mind
Tales that tend to grow.
What more can I write or say?
Feelings are my staple
I use them to write my songs
Feelings make me able.
To live in calm control
To live in calm control
Thirty seconds is all I have
To diffuse the escalation
Reframe the way things are
Confirm the sun is still our star
This is it! Can I cool the fire?
As my voice rises higher
Focused breath don't fail me now
Please give me calm control.
