Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim
Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim
Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim
I struggle along in vain, just to not quite make it
Its late at night, Im awake, surprise surprise
Trying to find some kind of way to write
Its a shame, I fail to find a blatant line
Between original art and whats plagiarised
Its vague and effectively makes playing a fresh
Melody impossible, I often wanna lay it to rest
I say with regret cos I love making music
Taking beautiful soothing sounds to make tunes with
Creating a groove and arranging and looping it
But usually it screws me straight up, I feel stupid
I need a tea break to replace my fuses
But my main mistake is that I keep making excuses
The truth is I can blatantly do this
But my brain just refuses to obey so I lose it
Thus making me choose to take painkillers and booze
Just to change up my mood plus maybe induce
A thrust of creative boost to raise me up from this place of wasted youth
And enable me to embrace my muse
Taste the fruits of the great musical roots
That grew from the days of slaves playing the blues
Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim
Its come and its gone again Ive lost my aim
Somewhere along the way, I lost my aim
My colour is gone and drained, I just might faint
So hold me so tight
Make me feel alive
Blocked out, locked out
Please, please, please not now
To find the right line to writes quite a painful paper chase
Sometimes it takes ages, other days I get it straight away
Thats the main way I ever can create
But take away my aspirations and my brains a vacant place
I hesitate for days in an attempt to make a serenade
And say something amazing to set the grade in clever ways
But fate never plays fair therefore Ill stay this way forever
Never creating til the end of days
Seven eighths of the time when Im trying
To think of a lyric, picture an image or write a nice rhyme
Im willing my mind to fill up with brilliant ideas
Bring them to life, like they were written in my tears
I fear its quite clear Im living a lie here
Eyes dried up but I wish I could cry, hear
Is this a signal or sign my minds fucked up?
Cos if isnt Im just blocked
Blocked out, locked out
Please, please, please not now
Something is wrong today, Im not quite sane
Suddenly dropped from grace, and lost my train
