Quiet Fix

Like I mentioned before, I've been spending more of my time focusing on music as a creative outlet. As I have no piano easily at my fingertips, I've been proactive about writing lyrics and then working with friends (who do have these melodic means) to add music. Not the most pragmatic way to go about penning a song, but I'm working with what I've got! Here are some lyrics I've been working on. I'm a few songs in now...
-------------------
Tropics line the streets
Wheels and pavement meet
The earth beneath me quakes
I feel my body shake and...

Each day I search for a quiet fix
An easy sign
Slow passing time
To understand what I've missed

But I'm a wanderer. I'm a warrior
Marching towards something new.
I'm a pioneer, in spite of fear
Give me the peace I'm due
This traveler in search of a clearer view

Buildings line the streets
Cabs provide a steady fleet
Time passes in the Square
Passing me by without a care and...

Each day I search for a quiet fix
An easy sign
Slow passing time
To understand what I've missed

But I'm a wanderer. I'm a warrior
Marching towards something new.
I'm a pioneer, in spite of fear
Give me the peace I'm due
This traveler in search of a clearer view

Chasing the setting sun
Clear my mind. I have to run
Each place feels the same
How long can I remain?

And I'm a wanderer. I'm a warrior
Marching towards something new.
I'm a pioneer, in spite of fear
Give me the peace I'm due
This traveler in search of his clearer view
