the big picture

the picture's far too big to look at kid, your eyes won't open wide enough. and you're constantly surrounded by the swirling stream of what is and what was. well we all made our predictions but, the truth still isn't out. so if you wanan see the future go stare into cloud.

and keep trying to find your way out of that maze of memories. it all sort of looks familiar, until you get up close and it's different, clearly. but each time you turn a corner you're right back where you were. and your only hope is that forgetting might make a door appear.

so you can try and live in darkness but you never shake the light. it will great you every morning, and make you more aware with it's absense at night, when you're wrapped up in your blankets baby, your comfortable cocoon. but i've seen the day of your awakening boy, and it's coming soon.

so you can loose yourself in liquor, and you can praise the clouded mind. but it isn't what you're thinking, no, it's the course of history, your position in line. you're just a piece of the puzzle so i think you'd better find your place. and don't go blaming your knowledge on some fruit you ate.

because there's been a great deal of discussion, yes. about the properties of man. animal or angel, you were carved from bone but your heart is just sand and the wind is gonna scatter it and cover everything with love. so if it makes you happy then keep kneeling Mama, but i'm standing up.
