Clandestine Heart

(Joshua Lyons)

A contemplative lyric about memories that have passed and aren't ever coming back. And how you walk around depressed, trying to appear happy; but even with the most blatant evidence suggesting otherwise, no one seems to really see how sad you are.

(Verse 1)
I am walking in the shadows
Of those who once walked with me
Either singing in my ear or
Right here physically
Most have moved or moved on
Either lurking elsewhere or
Transcended beyond
Nothing in life is concrete
Not even the cement beneath your feet

(Pre-Chorus)
In every daydream
I seem to be led
To a place where
All my heroes and dreams
Are dead

(Chorus)
Free admission
With paid advice
Eschew virtue
In favor of vice
I'm just somebody
Missing a soul
Clandestine heart
Made from parts I stole

(Verse 2)
My story quickly grows old
But I am walking sorrow
Used to ride with misery
Until despair got my car towed
No one ever questions
The noose around your bed
Achieving peace and quiet
Through the thought of
Being dead

(Pre-Chorus)
In every daydream
I find the deathbed
Of my youth
A booth where all
My heroes lie dead

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
Life is a nightmare
It is all despair
And no one seems to care
Until you decide you don't want to be there

(Repeat Chorus)

(Outro)
I gotta say
I could not have picked a more
Beautiful day
To see a play by play
Of what I have left
In my life to watch
Start to decay
