I Took A Long Hard Look

I took a long hard look
 At the heroes of my youth.
 And their antics on the page there on
 Can no longer sustain me
 Ever since I was a boy
 They brought me joy
 But the shackles of the way I was
 Can no longer contain me
 It was exciting
 And enlightening
 Reverberating through my dreams
 Goodbye to reality
 And set a course for wayward schemes.
 Now I can't sing
 I can't feel
 I don't know what is real.
 I was travelling through the past for years
 Tell me what's my destination
 Now the past is gone
 I don't even have a song
 We've not sung before
 To a closing door
 Tell me what's my situation?
 I saw the film,
 I lived the book
 I got the haircut
 That's all it took
 But now I know it's going to take
 A little more now I'm awake
 I took along hard look
 Now I'm waiting for the phone to ring
 I glance at the inbox
 Is there any tantalising mail there in
 There was lust in my restless heart
 But now I know what true love means
 Goodbye to reality
 And set sail for dreamsy
