Sometimes I think of running, biting at the heels
The coattails of a boxcar like some beatnik bum
I’d join the conscious chorus, write a poem or two
Trade and barter answers for the afflictions of this age
Now I’ve come to see that I have grown suspicious of my friends
We laugh and blame it on the weather
But I’m anxious and so sick
Of watching myself move, an audience
I feel outside myself, I feel out of control
Oh no nothing isn’t real
Worth its weight in words another grand initiative
Yeah promise this I’ll never break again
But you know I never chose to have any choice
In my mind even the best men I know
Are slipping down a slope
Promise this I’ll never break again
But you know I never chose to have any choice
Now these days I feel so crowded, my youth is catching up
And lately you’re no different, every look is the same
I was an artist once, I could see for miles
I had stories to tell I was passionate then
And you were my kind of muse
Now I don’t believe in anything I’m just here for the violence
Collapse into a rant and beg a kiss
You think you’ll save yourself by saving someone else
Oh where have I heard this before?
The trick of good intent, a golden tongue
The measure of a body in the clutches of a cunning sin
I’m going in
Oh no nothing isn’t real
Worth its weight in words another grand initiative
Yea promise this I’ll never break again
But you know I never chose to have any choice
In my mind even the best men I know
Are slipping down a slope
Promise this I’ll never break again
But you know I never chose, to have any choice
Two places
You gotta choose one choice you know nothing isn’t real
