How much to balance how much to bear
how much to carry words secretly
out of fear

On the path to find one rower
who can row my broken boat through
seeing a lost friend my feet run
and the brain says shoo

the past is the saddest thing
but doesn't bother me
vented up a dormant volcano
the present has so many burdens on me
but the title dormant keeps me low

the waterfall flowing inside
knows it doesn't have a way to cry
out its voice of the gushing water
cause it has many bugs birds and fish that rely
on it's smooth flow
and there the storm grows
can not hold it and can not let it go

Why is it so hard to work for something you can die for and why is it so easy to lounge on your pillow and cry on the present you are reaping hoping for a better future that's fogged
trying to put up with the life called chess
but the master piece of the board called hope
all seems clogged

Kitna sambhalun kitna sahun
baaton ka bojh liye kb tk chalun
Kitna uchaaloon samandar si lehrein
sab gehraion me jhaankti firoon

kahin Mile koi manjhi naya
jo chala de iss dil ka toota chappu
kahin dikhe jo bichda saathi vahan
se pair ko apne bhagate chaloon

the past is the saddest thing
but doesn't bother me
and I am a dormant frustrated volcano
I can't hold it and can not let it go
