John Trudell - Restless Situations lyrics

Searching for horizons that aren't there They quarrelled again today Turning her back She feels more like crying Love turned into contests Pa**ion turned unkind Close to going crazy Tempting Tempting her mind Like an ant On an ice cream cone in the sun Someone knocked down all her sand castles And she doesn't know why And she doesn't know why Feelings of her own Wandering in restless situations Want to weep When she faces reality she's in Want to live Want to begin her life again Feelings of her own Wandering in restless situations Spilling their milk and honey They quarrelled again today One more quarrel Their domino theory of quarrels This man she loved so blind at times Like two people One she loves one she resents Dodging in shadows of another identity Not stuff young girl dreams are made of Center stage is woman One of many still one alone An actress with all the roles she plays Trapped somewhere between feelings Prisoner in love not what she meant Gilded cages some birds meant to fly Spaces of walls Only walls hear her pleas Feelings of her own Wandering in restless situations Want to weep When she faces reality she's in Want to live Want to begin her life again Feelings of her own Wandering in restless situations Restless situations Showing a calm face is hard They quarrelled again today Quarrels line up one by one Some hang on Fighting back with words words said When hearts tears cry why why why Why's this happening happening Happening to her She's not guilty not guilty not guilty She's a rose bush Treat her beauty gently Sweet love her fragrance without thorns Don't hurt her don't chop her down She can't live as decoration in a vase She needs to continue Continue to bloom continue to bloom Please Lord dear God O Jesus When when when will things ever change Damn damn damn it all anyhow Where she's at What's she going to do now Feelings of her own Wandering in restless situations
