My Alluring Self
Not a word on my lips
Not a thing in my soul
Where does my mind lead me?
In this world whole.
No talking to friends
No botheration of foes
Where is my enthusiasm gone?
Leaving me only with woes.
I want to be back
I want to find myself
Where do I go from here?
In search of my alluring Self.
Not a thing in my soul

No talking to friends
No botheration of foes
Where is my enthusiasm gone?
Leaving me only with woes.
I want to be back
I want to find myself
Where do I go from here?
In search of my alluring Self.
