A Sad Uplifting Song

All is so ordinarily wrong
Everything out of place
A sad uplifting song
For your inconspicuous face

But your ears, they refuse all sound
Listening to your weaker self
You pick up a handful of dust
And you put it back on the shelf

How many more times will you raise your head
How many more tears will you shed
How many years will you disregard
What could have been right from the start

You’re just drifting in spirals
And no one can stop you now
All those useless trials
But everything’s easy now

A revolving door in full swing
And you can’t get out of this loop
You’ll never know what time it is
Swimming in a frozen soup

How many more times will you raise your head
How many more tears will you shed
How many years will you disregard
What could have been right from the start

There are things in life you must go through
Like clouds passing in the sky
There are times when you haven’t got a clue
And you wish it would be just another lie

There was a man, had an acre of gold
But he died before it got sold
Look at your hands and at what they can hold
Plant the seeds, let the flowers unfold

How many more times will you raise your head
How many more tears will you shed
How many years will you disregard
What could have been right from the start

Now tell me, how many more times will you raise your head
How many more tears will you shed
How many years will you disregard
What could have been right from the start
