Caught Souls
April 25, 2001
Copyright 2001 Doug Pretorius

Your holes fill with tears
of those burning year after year
With the wink of a glass eye
looking into the meaning of your tries
I ask what happened to your skinned up knees
and you tell me how you fell into the arms a tree
Do you love us both or just you or me?
do you want more than we're able to be?
Like tigers caged in a forgotten zoo
fires raging on smoked out glue
Keep on fighting and you just might find
some reason to be this place to unwind
Through the filling and feeding some special crew
we all look hungrily at the pretty face of you
The answer is hard to find in this toiled maze
almost as hard as the questions I feel in your gaze
If nothing is just as it always once was
you really have to wonder about all the fuss
The fires keep burning and searching for truth
the brittle naked wings soar through and through
This is the way we believed and were taught
we're just waking up to the way our souls have been caught
