[00:03.260]I toe the line of self indulgence
[00:05.440]Every time I place my pen
[00:07.050]Upon the page
[00:08.230]And form the words
[00:09.460]I felt
[00:10.340]But couldn't show 'til then
[00:12.170]And to myself
[00:13.390]I beg the question
[00:15.050]Why do I thus masquerade
[00:16.680]As one to one
[00:17.750]And to another
[00:18.460]Someone else
[00:19.910]If I
[00:20.490]Afraid
[00:20.980]Of what the consequence of stating
[00:22.670]Openly my cause might be
[00:24.480]When I rant
[00:25.400]And rhyme
[00:26.020]And reason
[00:26.550]Do I write for them
[00:28.270]Or me
[00:29.610]I believe there is some merit
[00:31.190]In creating for one's self
[00:33.420]But why place before the public
[00:34.980]What is best
[00:35.820]Left on the shelf
[00:37.260]Though while I write
[00:38.190]I do not feel that
[00:39.250]What I pen is mine alone
[00:41.140]Even this could be misguided
[00:42.520]As are many I have known
[00:43.650]Who swore
[00:44.350]Poor souls
[00:45.120]That they possessed
[00:45.980]The key to man's mysterious fate
[00:48.190]Succeeded in convincing some
[00:49.900]But most could tell
[00:51.030]They did but prate
[00:52.150]On subjects
[00:53.050]Touching something vague
[00:54.620]Which cannot be unproven
[00:55.910]Or
[00:56.290]In place of content
[00:57.560]Speak in tongues
[00:58.670]Yet know not whom they're speaking for
[01:01.030]No
[01:01.260]I am not deluded so
[01:03.600]I do not feel I represent
[01:05.180]Some force divine
[01:06.810]But still I know
[01:07.680]That I shall never be content
[01:08.990]To hold my tongue when I would speak
[01:11.180]Or change my words to suit the hour
[01:13.250]Or pinch a blush upon my cheek
[01:14.950]To feign my joy
[01:15.970]At love gone sour
[01:17.620]I do not wish to disappoint
[01:18.960]The faith that others place in me
[01:21.350]To lead the way to brighter days
[01:23.310]But sometimes dark
[01:24.450]Is all I see
[01:26.170]I work for good
[01:27.630]I toil for hope
[01:28.470]No one can question my intent
[01:30.870]But even those who listen close
[01:32.340]Can often mistake
[01:33.420]What I meant
[01:34.880]My fear
[01:35.670]I've come to realize
[01:36.650]Is mainly this
[01:38.030]That I am wrong
[01:39.150]That my perception is askew
[01:41.430]That I write shyte
[01:42.210]And call it song
[01:44.540]Perhaps I'll always question thus
[01:46.520]Discount my merits
[01:47.790]Thoughts
[01:48.330]And deeds
[01:49.350]'Tis well
[01:49.960]Long as I still go forth
[01:51.260]And see where this
[01:52.420]My vision
[01:53.880]Leads
[01:55.170]Strong is she
[01:56.220]Who knows her mind
[01:56.990]And speaks it
[01:57.870]Though she may not please
[01:59.720]Fortunate the audience
[02:00.990]That hears such honest thoughts
[03:07.120]As these
