lyrics

You say, “How’s it goin?”
And I’m saying “fine”
I just don’t want to talk
About what’s really on my mind
You see – all is not well for me
I’ve got so much trouble
But the biggest prick in the world
Ain’t gonna burst my bubble

I’m trying to deal
With this pain in my heart
Best that I can
I self medicate
I’m trying to relate
To the others
But they don’t know who I am

I just can’t wait to make it
To the trees
Down by the water
Where I can cry, and no one sees
Because twenty some years ago
I was conceived
And since I came into the world
I have not been well received

I’m trying to deal
With this falling house of cards
With a steady hand
The wind is picking up
And the tide is coming in
And this whole foundation
Was built in the sand

I wanna know
More than I can read
I wanna see
More than I can perceive
I wanna do more work
Than my body will allow
I wanna be livin’ in the future
While I’m livin’ in the now
I wanna fight
Without wearing any armor
I wanna grow
More than a thousand farmers
I wanna stretch across time and space
With a yardstick
I wanna explode
Without a pinprick
I wanna silver lining
In every cloud
I wanna meditate
And at the same time be extremely loud
I wanna wash the deck
Of a grounded ship
I wanna expand my consciousness
Without a trip
