Semi-Automatic
My inspiration has given up
My motivation met me half way
When my ambitions lost the fight
My encouragement just went away
It’s easy to get my engine started
But it won’t start up all the way
A few more tries is all it will take
And one more try is all it takes
All my dreams sit wide awake
Troubled by emotions they can’t name
And when my reasons saw the ordeal
They didn’t have very much to say
The closest I ever come to sleep at night
Is crying over it during the day
So I stole sleep and wasted dreams
In the end my dreams put sleep to waste
Every time I retrace my steps
It’s success that always seems to fade
I told victory of my tragic defeat
And when she heard this she ran away
I pleaded to my aspirations
But I couldn’t get them to stay
I tempted them with visions of triumph
But my triumph saw no reason to stay.
I’m speechless after it all
So I just listen to my disgrace
But even he had given up
For even he couldn’t go all the way.
