That's A Tough Cry To Rally Around
Shoes kicking dust, falling apart
Car is waiting for me
To start, walk slow
So as not to pass
The things I'll never know
It's shoulder to air to shoulder
Sunglasses to empty eyes
And potential conversations waived
For thoughts about the signs
While I drive
The miles seem to pass like the daylight
Fading into the west
The beams shining on the lines
Navigator, plot my course
And tell me where to wind up
It is your choice tonight
It's too long to build a bridge
To connect these different sides
And it's too hard to make amends
When opinions collide
What we said and what was done
Are completely at odds
Check the postcards to find out
Just who won
Greatness is all stuffed down inside
Let yourself let it out
Venting is pointless
When what you're mad about
Is likely to surround
It's door to counter to sleeping
Circle to an empty hole
And potential happy lives exchanged
For losing all control
While you lie in bed
What moves swiftly through your mind?
Complacency is different
From contentment, I find
Wake yourself up
To give in now is not the same as "tried"
And you're dying to survive
It's too long to build a bridge
To connect these different sides
And it's too hard to make amends
When opinions collide
What we said and what was done
Are completely at odds
Check the postcards to find out
Just who won
Comparing notes on paper
The highlighted parts are
Different to start
An error in who's favor?
The swallowed prose of my
Ugly failed design
