Search For A Shadow

© Mark Betcher

You search here and you search there
What you’re looking is everywhere
Or were you blinded by the glare
Of your thoughts that you’ve never been anywhere

Your glass half full or your glass half empty
A painting of your thoughts black and pretty
Can you write another line of this silly song pity
Or just cry out for another slice of my sweet empathy

In your dreams you are awaken
Standing on the ice looking so forsaken
Your not happy and frozen thin
All you can do strip off another layer of your cool blue skin

Struggle out of your pool of never
Lust for love can cling forever
Life is a matter of... whatever
On average we aren’t all that clever

Choice is the CHANCE to change
Pack up your thoughts to travel again
As you run head long down lover's lane
A penny for your thoughts baby if you think you are that sane

Love on one fist. Hate on the other
Choose one hand and you open the other
There’s no ball under this cup, my brother
Take a light to find a dream... under the covers

The sun is shinning outdoors...
