Torchlight in a tumbleweed
rolling around inside of me
burning up my daily peace
while running over me

My mind adrift on rocky shores
Pummeled by waves from before
trapped in the quagmire of this war
between a desperate soul and a spirit poor

I run to nowhere and then return
I've never completely even learned
This flame continues so deep to burn
no reprieve can I ever earn

Momentary rest is all I've seen
after I finally run out of steam
and still I wrestle with restless dreams
Why is this fire still blazing in me?
