So Much Evidence, Never Any Clues

You tried to find tomorrow
In too many yesterdays,
You tried to find your number
In too many yellowed pages,
You tried to fall in love
In too many painted faces....
You tried to find faith
In too many blind churches,
You tried to find the point
In too many blunted ideas,
You tried to carve a niche
In too many petrified cities....
All these things never came through,
So much evidence, never any clue;
You tried to blaze new trails
In too many windy forests,
You tried to tell the truth
In too many liar's clubs,
You tried to lend a hand
To too many loosened stones....
You tried to find the answers
In too many broken lines,
You tried to feel sorrow
For too many prescribed dead,
You tried to forget it all
With too many suggested doses....
All these will never come through,
They burned the evidence and buried any clue.
