The Need… To Live

It’s never clear what we need
How less is less, how much is greed?
I take one step at a time
Every step new and sublime
What wrong I do or going to?
Is right, right all the way through?
Making sense of the puzzle I lead
Each piece broken, each piece bleeds
If I could salvage, would I try?
Should I wait for life to come by?
How to fix the missing links?
Clues written in invisible inks
What I want is a feeling within
I will only know when it sinks in
How do I go and where to find it?
When the feeling comes bit by bit
The blame is always hanging close
The beauty dies of an overdose
The mystery of the magic in between
Lies in the moments that have been
If only we could live our past
We’ll know how long it would last
The crowding voices all around
Can my peace ever be found?
All that is familiar soon wears out
Revealing contempt and some doubts
Can we always make it work?
Eating with knives and forks
Will you know if I was drowning deep?
Or think I’m in a peaceful sleep?
Too many sockets, too many wires
Can I live with unconnected desires?
Waiting for the message in a bottle
Crack the code or burst the bubble
A long walk on an endless shore
I can feel there is something more
In the company of circumstance
I’m living life by taking my chance
An end is inevitable for us all anyway
I would have lived if I lived just a day
