leave a trace
he's got a book
filled with words
and little drawings
the absurd awkward ramblings
of a well-twisted man
trying to leave a trace
doing what he can
which amounts to slightly
better than nothing
babbling and scribbling
he found it rather frightning
to see his well-twisted mind
trying to leave a trace
no one will ever find
and then there's these songs
improvised or crafted
he made ripples in the air
that sounded quite fantastic, songs
of a well-twisted man
trying to leave a trace
doing what he can
everybody wants to be somebody
everybody has a dream
what do you want to do
who do you want to be
