lyrics

Past tense proves to work in strange ways
Currently, I'm wasting my days
thinking over gone-by ages,
wondering what came of pages
written out, translated from my
deepest thoughts and ones that float on by
Lines got crossed, but dotted my i's
carefully, as I plot my rise

I feel I have trained and read
I feel I have drained my head
I feel I have lost it all
I fear I have been a fool

They laugh at what they want to see
It's so sad that they can't agree
Wish another wish for me, please,
I no longer wish to be here
Sell your souls for thrills and money
Live the life that they'd have you be
In this play, there's only one scene,
filled with dirt and grass and my queen

A long week ends here
My patience bends, dear
As progress pends near
mind makes amends clear

Don't say hey, that's the way
Don't tell me I have to pray
Don't sit back and rest your eyes
Don't believe I'm on your side
