Life on schedule

[Verse 1] I cannot write a word today, no fire in my vein Because the vents of love are closed, and I am feeling plain She is not interesting to me, no Cupid’s arrow sting Though she is lovely as before, like art that engravings bring I’m looking for a soul in torment, just to feel the glow But I don’t hear my heart beat fast, though I remember woe [Verse 2] I’m tired of being good to all, while stifling my groan No passerby can ever hear my heart’s metallic tone We’re killing one another now, forgetting all our dreams But give ourselves to someone else, in hurried, scheduled schemes We are used to it, we’re tired, on illusions we are fed But our hearts are made of steel, since our dreams are dead [Chorus] We are stealing our dawns, replacing them with gray And for all our questions now, no answers come our way Not a dream, an empty cage, where it’s cozy, but so dark Where love is just a withered branch, that leaves a lonely mark [Verse 3] My song is never being sung, no poems from my pen My heart is beating out of time, avoiding sins again No matter how our bodies sing, or how we fight with fate We both know that we never became each other’s dream, too late And on the well-worn, dusty road, a million feet will go Stealing dreams from their own lives, with destiny so low [Verse 4] Tomorrow morning comes again, the coffee, masks, and kids Life is written wisely now, but the spark is on the skids We are afraid to look behind, to see the void so vast For it’s so great to live your life, when dreams are in the past And so we’ll sail in circles now, with etiquette so tight Just lovers to each other, duo of shadows in the night [Chorus] We are stealing our dawns, replacing them with gray And for all our questions now, no answers come our way Not a dream, an empty cage, where it’s cozy, but so dark Where love is just a withered branch, that leaves a lonely mark
