In the Picture

In the Picture
Laid so low
I felt so strange
and couldn't move in hours
House of lights that disorients
A trip we might have made

The fever is killing me
gripping and burning
spreading all night and day
insatiable yearning
You never see me running away
I'll strain to be in the picture
can't believe my eyes
images blurred and coming alive
I'm willing to go- what's your mission?
Don't they lurk and stay out of range
I bow down before the strange
when finally they showed their faces,
I recognized myself.
Fear in the neighborhood
of hope and commitment,
Dreams had a bigger size
than I'd ever witnessed
You never see me running away
I'll strain to be in the picture
can't believe my eyes
images blurred and coming alive
I'm willing to go- what's your mission?
You'd never see me running away
I've got to face the oncoming pain
I'll strain to be in the picture
can't believe my eyes...
