lyrics

The situation don’t inspire a changing of the guard…cause nothing seems so easy as the things that seemed so hard…so many ways to make a living, but none of them make any sense…you gotta quantify your efforts and sanctify them in one breath…while the others stress the details, tally hours to keep the score…I’m sweeping up the ceiling that has collapsed upon the floor…worn wires…will start fires…I eye the Flying Dutchman about a day or two offshore…oh he’s leading me through waters that I can navigate no more…as I settle into drifting, direction obsolete…I’m letting go of rope and peeling miles off of my feet…now steeping in the water, they cut through moon and tide…is it an accident this incident has brought them back to life…no higher…gets tired...I’m tired.
