The Strange Girl In The Corner

Today is my date of birth
Forty one years upon this earth
You would figure a fool by now
Would figure it out somehow
But the years just keep rolling on
And I think that my failure's won
I have never lived up to be
The things that they've asked of me
Every day is a mystery
All the things I refuse to see
Though I'm told I am one of worth
I disappear into the earth...

Falling far from open blue skies
Oh man wonder if I'll realize
There's nothing within these eyes
I've left them empty
Look for hope within the art halls
No man nothing here will ever show
And no one will ever know
Who is the girl from Mars

If you're now starting to inquire
Of the tune from which this poem's inspired
Then I've let too much weakness show
Though there's so much more you could know
But the Maestro sings in my head
He'll conduct this thing until I am dead
It's the melody not the song
Because my wording is set up wrong
Though each time I think now it's right
Inside me will be another fight
Though I know I could try again
There's not much left to give of

My life standing in vacuum
This time wonder if this is a sign
Is this mess really mine and can I change it
How do I approach a new art
Dear god, wonder if I have the heart
To try and make a new start
For the girl from Mars
