This Soul of Mine
It wakes me up in the dead of darkness,
when the world is quiet.
It rattles inside me, shaking my bones,
it won't ever let me be.
I can't control it, I can't define it,
and it
keeps me red-eyed,
keeps me tongue-tied,
keeps me locked-up crazy,
but it keeps me alive,
this soul of mine.
It always wants more and can't ever settle.
It holds its body to too high a standard,
and doesn't always see its worth.
I can't mend it, I can't fix it,
but it
drives me forward,
drives me upward,
drives me to insanity,
and it keeps me alive,
this soul of mine.
