Ambition - Joolz

The wheel turns and we spin with it

No help for us who’ve made our path

We see our fate and never try to fight it

Because it calls us even as it kills

There is no pain like separation

But we embrace it as we should each other

The parting kiss and say goodbye

The long wait grinds like a broken bone

Through the night’s pale consolations

A drink too many and a pretty face

I only see your sad eyes shining

The light of a star on a frosty night

Oh, the words come thick and stumbling

Stupid, clumsy cliches, all used up

All those phrases speak so slick and easy

They roll like thunder and beat hollow like an empty drum

It’s not enough, it’s not enough

Too many questions that we dare not answer

And the truth is only something

That we sing for strangers, far away

And yes, we’re tired, yes, we’re lonely

And as the days crawl by distracted

The grand design seems sham and aimless

But we still play the game because we made it

And wait for the return as best we can
