The Ides

When I look ahead I can't see clearly
Anchored all the time to things so near me
Always struggling with the urge to run away
Always try to move ahead succinctly
Never see the future too distinctly
When did my hope seem to lose its ray?

Steadfast as I go from day to day
Slowly my resolve just slips away ...

Looking back
I've been right on track
And now come what may
Its brought me here today
Looking forward now
It's a long way down
And it's no surprise
That I'm in the ides

Not including random flights of fancy
Optimism seems a bit too chancy
Hope is too scared to come around
So I go around and round now in this circular insanity
Its given from time to time now by the obstacles that counter me
It's time to move my head buried underground

Steadfast as I go from day to day
Slowly my resolve just slips away ...

Looking back
I've been right on track
And now come what may
Its brought me here today
Looking forward now
It's a long way down
And it's no surprise
That I'm in the ides

(Let's go!)

Looking back
I've been right on track
And now come what may
Its brought me here today!
Looking forward now
Its a long way down
And its no surprise
That I'm in the ides!
