FLY AGAINST THE WIND
(Lyrics)
© John Cologon 2019
Lost in the power of your cold empty mind
Emotion is gone, and the ice makes you blind
Thinking endless death-laden thoughts
Trapped in the game that your logic has wrought
Sometimes you break the rules – can’t help but smile
Still doesn’t make life seem worthwhile
Fly against the wind; swim against the tide
Fight against the life that’s inside
When will you get to the end of the game?
Something is stopping you – you say it’s pain
New day, same way, strategy fails
Anger erupts, so you drive in the nails
Whatever’s breaking loose has got you scared
Cling to the game – it’s all you’ve prepared
Fly against the wind; swim against the tide
Fight against the life that’s inside
You’re not alone, but you don’t want to see
Seeds that are growing and trying to break free
Hidden feelings melting the ice
Try to ignore them, keep throwing the dice
Russian roulette’s getting hard – starts to scare you, too
The razor is blunting, the new growth creeps through
Fly against the wind; swim against the tide
Fight against the life that’s inside
