Redux

 Redux

When I was a child

I craved the world

At my fingertips

What ambition

Naive 

I’ve been great but 

Then nothing

And back again

It’s a redux

My life

Up and down

And up again 

It’s a redux

The price

Good and bad

And good again 

When I was so wild 

I craved it all

Ears hearing my lips 

That motivation 

Just lies

I told myself

And believed

Foolishly

It’s a redux

My life

Up and down

And up again 

It’s a redux

The price

Good and bad

And good again 

The eternal return

Of a fantasy

The revival

In a dream

That will never come

The redux

We sell ourselves

We all can dream

And make believe 

For all of time

It’s a redux

My life

Up and down

And up again 

It’s a redux

The price

Good and bad

And good again
