garrison frost - poetry in poltergeists lyrics

youth is just a playground where the idealistic play
it’s where i made mistakes that got me where i am today
i learned how to treat a lady there and how to make a friend
inflicted on me wounds that even time could never mend
but i am just a traveler and a solitary man
i don’t want to be a burden to you now

i’m no fine wine, i’m rotted meat and soured milk
i dreamt in burlap when i should have dreamt in silk
the hatred of the memory fuels the fire in the fight
it’s all i have now in the twilight of my life
but i am just a traveler and a solitary man
i don’t want to be a burden to you now

though now i’m old i was turned blind when i was young
was taught to stand up tall but was blinded by the sun
now every friend i have is a ghost who’s gone away
and the poetry in poltergeists is the only game i play

what could you do, what could you say?
too hopelessly naive to see we all just wait around ’til our dying day
hope is an expense i can’t afford to pay
i look down at my watch and it’s just tick, tick, ticking time ’til my dying day
so why don’t you write a song and within it say
there’s hope and love and peace but you’re just really wasting time ’til your dying day
but this is just a song about a tired man
who’s been broken by the rhythm of the second hand
whose life, i feel, filled with missed opportunity
that, somewhere, i was cheated of my destiny

but a friend in need is so transparent in his worth
and seeing as i’ve been cursed from now back ’til my day of birth
but i am just a traveler and a solitary man
i don’t want to be a burden to you now
