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!
