Bottled up tight

I may be loose, I'm not a cannon,
I can be quiet saying my name,
There are the weights, where is the balance?
Maybe everyone's to blame.

My heart and my mind have been with me always,
But not long enough to keep them in line,
I know that my mind has both good and bad days,
But my heart wins every time.

I feel a fire,
I see a flame set me a light,
bring me desire, bottled up tight.
Like caging the ocean,
dousing the sun, download the sky,
bring me emotion,
bottled up tight.

I count when I can the people who walk by,
Imagine their path crossing with mine,
And maybe it's true, or part of a blood line,
we walk like we're pretty much blind.
