Those Defiant Ways - Sylvan

Those defiant ways

Yes, I followed them just to be back again

Those defiant ways

Realised too late how they tempted my will

They enchanted my youth like a bored know-all child

So naïve to believe that my fucking dreams will come true

Tranquil country lifestyle

That’s why I see no way to be the man that I ever wanted to be

Rebel by heart to break the chains that keep me here

I’d like to breathe the air of a vivid endless city just to begin

Refugee in the ocean of modern age

Endless city embrace me

Motivation runs

Through me…

Endless…

Ambitious, delicious

Adventurous, contentious

Exciting, inviting

I’m writing, I’m fighting

For my dreams…

Oh what a challenge to write

I work at day and by night

Can’t find a minute to think

God knows I’m on the blink

Never there’s silence around

Is this my dream that I found?

Got the time to breathe

Independently

Pressure lies beneath

My own liberty

So I can’t believe:

Only empty sheets

Feel how time deceives

Sacred dignity!

Dignity, liberty

Sanity, mendacity

Time… against all I could not keep pace

Where is my way a shrine deserted without trace

How should I breath, how should I flee from claws

That try to suppress me?

There was no sign along my way

No guide, no help and so I pray

All tears, all cries

Forgotten.all lies

To leave… it's no defeat

Just a detour makes you see

Embraced city, I have to go

It’s not you fault

Now I know

Those defiant ways

Yes, I followed them just to be back again
