lyrics

powered on and unaware
that anything is changing
can't foresee a future
to bear an act worth staging
you'll wonder why I try

no room for adages here
the situation's unique
parables and platitudes and proverbs alike
if life's supposed to be a short breezy hike
then I left my backpack in the womb
give me a month, I'll be back soon

can't tell if it's fabric or blood
but I'm not sounding alarms
I'm not awaiting a flood
there should be cause for concern
but for now I'm burned
and too fogged up to learn

little rodent on a wheel
dying on the sidelines
triple-header's great for views but awful for sport
but if I don't finish something then I'm coming up short
surviving diatribe

and when the raven flies
and the motor dies
it won't be a surprise
they say ignorance is bliss
then I must be Sisyphus
from all these untold lies
get on!
