Michael McGuire So Close
Living on the blunt edge of hope, it takes all your strength just to cope,
dying inside in a thousand ways, as my life wanders thru these lifeless
days, I’m so close I’m so close.
Fist tense from aggravation, mind busy in investigation, I can still see
traces of beauty, where I turn to face my duty, I’m so close I’m so close.
I close my eyes and you lead me thru, neither one sure of what the other
might do.
We’ve got this free spirit in a cage, in our self contained rage,
disenchanted with this fancy dance, and still scared to take this risky
chance, I’m so close I’m so close.
The gleam in the edge of a shiny knife, the desperation at the end of a
desperate life, the moon in the water of a sleepless night, the ten
thousand wrongs for the one right, I’m so close I’m so close.
I close my eyes and you lead me thru, neither one sure of what the other
might do.
Gratitude is not an easy friend, there is only one thing these storm clouds
can send, a winner trapped in this losers pool, blame your weapon and
chose a tool. I’m so close I’m so close.
False heart in your secret prayers, surprised when you find out nobody
cares, you and I walk together alone, desire disguised in flesh and bone,
I’m so close I’m so close.
I close my eyes and you lead me thru, neither one sure of what the other
might do.
