seeing what isn’t there
fears within your fears
and you move them just to scare yourself
with such a beautiful mind

wakeup in the morning
and live your life through a box
just to have a life at all
desensitized now
to the shadows moving stills
that you can’t rewind

go outside and find the answers they hide
escape from yourself before it’s too late
before it’s too late for

these changing gears
it always happens this way
hear his voice and think
oh no not this one
then the song starts playing
and chuckle
desensitized now
to the shadows moving stills
that you can’t rewind

go outside and find the answers they hide
escape from yourself before it’s too late
before it’s too late for

that side beyond the river
—

“haul it alone, the lies and the bone…”
