lyrics

Eyes on clock, blinking,
mind over-thinking,
right here, right now,
I can't see how
anything could ever
rip away the tether
you hold on me,
impress upon me

to say it'll be okay.
I know that we all grow
in time. I know that I'm
right here, but right now it's not

clear where I go
in this time flow.
Seas are churning.
I'm still yearning
for my purpose.
I must surface.
Seas will take me.
What can make me see?

Blind.

Giants of science in bowling alleys,
pliant, compliant controlling tallies,
meditate, venerate, fake your Zen clock.
Medicate, vindicate, take your hemlock.
Egg roll and shuizhu and cyanide
extol the virtue of suicide.
Fall in fall, flying my tether tie,
All in all, I think I'd rather die.

Why try? Dreams die.

Lions and tigers in barren white,
clients and gliders in Fahrenheit,
push me and pull you and then we fall,
cushioned by mildew and Demerol.
Vedas, Upanishads, Zend Avesta,
Serax, citalopram, and Lunesta,
play the part, go, and then take the fall.
Break the heart, so I can break the wall.

Please don't fake this.
I can't take this.
Drink my gin slow.
Break my window.
It's not too late.
Clock's stuck on eight.
Take the whole fall.
Break the whole wall.

We all die.

I heard an Angel once said,
"If nothing we do matters,
then all that matters is what we do."
But am I doing this for you?
