IDEE FIXE

Idee fixe

Such cause for fascination

Rewind it over in your head

All to serve that one fixation

Play it o'er and o'er again

Like a record ever skips

Stuck there in the groove

'Til removed by fingertips

Puzzling pieces...

Spread them out onto the ground

Dizzying vertigo

As the thoughts just spin around

Trying to make sense

Of cryptic words & distant sounds

Seeking for the pinnacle

'Round which the rest resounds

Painted pictures

Puzzled memories

That never come quite clear

Can't forget the sense of longing

For it's the thing that you hold dear

Mad denial doesn't matter

Cuz you're bound now to the dream

Wax and wane through all the silence

'Til you hear the silence scream

That's why you remain ambiguous

That's why you won't let go

Because the things you won't divulge

Are the things you do not know

You just spin round in that circle

And try to grind it down

But in the end you are what's missing

No matter how you wear that frown
