Backstory:

I have always been fascinated by the creative process and how individuals who are creative may think differently than people who are more logic driven.  Oftentimes in talking to creative individuals, they will describe some of their most treasured creative works as having come in a dream state, or as an altered state of consciousness that is inexplicable. It can be likened to a drive that must be satisfied, and not ignored.  Creativity in this case becomes like its own entity that is an energy force that not everyone experiences and in the same way. Since I was a small child I would experience periods of creativity and frequently thoughts and images would arrive when I was trying to fall asleep.  I found that I couldn't sleep until wrote it down, for fear that I would lose the information or images.  I learned to await for these episodes or periods of creativity, and it would either wake me or keep me from falling asleep.  Sometimes this would occur in a quiet way but other times it would be like a flood of emotions, thoughts, and images that were extremely powerful. I generally felt that whether I tried to ignore it or not, this creative process would happen, and so I always welcomed it as a gift that was a wonderful surprise.  It is truly wonderful to be able to escape into the creative world that can be quite private and personal. The many ways in which people can express creativity and the emotions that surround it as a common experience and it is admirable.  It is like a beautiful dance that ebbs and flows and can be wonderful to watch in others.  Inspiration can be captivating, and the energy can not always be captured.  It is not uncommon for creative individuals to work themselves into exhaustion in pursuit of the creative act.  She is elusive, and inspiration will always keep me spellbound.

Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

She arrives and is my muse

She speaks in sounds I can't ignore

I sometimes wish that I could choose

When to open up that door



V2

It can be the middle of the night

And she'll wake me with a kiss

I work from dark until light

A chance meeting, nearly missed



Bridge

Awaken to the sound

Of inspiration when she calls



Chorus

She whispers to a chosen few

It's a privilege when she comes around

From the start, I always knew

She forever holds me spellbound

A sudden burst of energy

That remains until I'm drained

Whether I agree or disagree

It's like she has me chained



Bridge

She lives inside my brain

Like a guest who must be entertained



V3

She always leaves me wanting more

She's unpredictable as the weather

She grabs me to the core

Life's a masterpiece when we're together



Bridge

Inspiration leaves her calling card

I hold her in such high regard



Chorus

She whispers to a chosen few

It's a privilege when she comes around

From the start, I always knew

She forever holds me spellbound

A sudden burst of energy

That remains until I'm drained

Whether I agree or disagree

It's like she has me chained



Outro

Awaiting inspiration

I wait for inspiration
