Driven – Written Thursday 23rd November 1995 (Aged 20)

Driven

what keeps you going?
what keeps the demons from your night
being hurtful in your head
as you lie restlessly in your bed
why do i hope when i know it is lost
why do i bother when i know there is not a choice
because the thought of us
is just of the things that keeps me going
stops me going crazy in the head
as i lie restlessly in my bed
my ears still ringing with the words you said
what keeps you going?
as a human being
as a soul in search of a body
why do i hope so much?
why do i still want an impossible dream
why do i still think of a touch
coming directly from inside of you
because it keeps me going
and i cannot stop feeling the way i do
cannot stop feeling for you
