Winter Shy

I can hear it in my head, but I can't play it
It comes out as someone else's song
Home alone and comfortable
Waiting on my karma to untangle

I can feel it on my tongue, but I can't say it
Could never memorize a poem
Ya, I know, go tell it to the ocean
And live out your dharma on the coast

It's not as easy as you think
A new disguise for every wink
Turn demons into diamonds in your spare time
Impossibly riding your own wake
Grandiose visions fade
And nothing can hurt me
As long as I am winter shy
And alone

Never mind, lesson learned
Oops, I think we found it
I will notify the Lost and Lonely, tell them it's come true
So, spare your thanks and cut 'n' paste collages of Forever
And no, I'm not trying to find myself, I'm just looking for my muse
My muse

Though I understand the joke, I can't explain it
But I'm fine to laugh at it alone
As long as I am winter shy
I'll know
