what can you do when you want to dream
but can't seem to find any substance?

what can i do when i can find the words
but not the voice to express them?

how do i explain the gain of the lines
and the loss of them all in one instance?

and why is it that i know what's important
but can't find the heart to stress them?

instead they stress me
lose me
all in an instance
and express my voice
which still dreams
its substance.
