Nowhere Fast

R.E. Todaro

The stars align

The safeguards fail

I'm faced with chaos

On a larger scale

Distorted reason

No time to mourn

Nor wish that I was never born

Determination of sacred discontent

I've breached the edge of

Malicious intent

Disillusioned disposition

Running in circles and

I'm getting nowhere fast

Despite my adversity

I will persevere and

Make the grade at last

Obscurity sometimes settles in

Disregard everywhere you've been

And though the wounds slowly

Break the skin

The mind and soul will

Always win

Disillusioned disposition

Running in circles and

I'm getting nowhere fast

Despite my adversity

I will persevere and

Make the grade at last

I remember there was a time

Before my revelation

Before this lucid dream

Becomes my discontent

Disillusioned disposition

Running in circles and

I'm getting nowhere fast

Despite my adversity

I will persevere and

Make the grade at last
