Altered Grain

    In harmony with the demons,
    They dwell here out of bounds,
    Beyond the call of reason,
    Where no-one apt dictates
    And life just passes by.
    Sometimes you feel like giving up
    Stopping what you know
    Anything for that elusive freedom
    That really can’t conform
    To all those things you’ve ever dreamed it be.
    As the truth still escapes you
    Reality stares you down
    Gives you what you vaguely know
    Wanders through your mind.
    Holds on to your yearnings,
    That someday it all may change,
    A different kind of woodwork,
    To go against the altered grain.

    You know one day you’ll beat this,
    But can you just hang on?
    Aim to beat the current play
    Aspire to win another way
    Live it,
    Dream it,
    Be it,
    But - Just -
    Not today.

    I like this verse a lot:


    As the truth still escapes you
    Reality stares you down
    Gives you what you vaguely know
    Wanders through your mind.
    Holds on to your yearnings,
    That someday it all may change,
    A different kind of woodwork,
    To go against the altered grain.

    The final stanza has interesting rhythm...
