Line your pockets with the parlance of the day
Caught you talking without anything to say
Seen you shaking time you wasted out of mind
Kicking screaming without meaning or design
I've been impatient with my station I've been fine
Past days of changing ways looking up they're so far behind
I wish that all my friends from back then could see me now
If they did they'd probably say kid I guess you're doing it anyhow
I've been waiting round for life to come and dig me up
And drop me in the wild and let me crawl around a while
I've been seeing days as lists of thing I couldn't do
But keep me honest now at least whatever that might mean to you
Turn the page and ride the wave right through the crash
Reminisce into an unremembered past
Can't fight the feeling now seems like the big one's knocking at the door
The years I'm stealing now I always wonder how I find one more
All the things I'll never do

I'm in an open spot so why you running away
There goes my mind what do you want me to say
I'm getting comfortable in a permanent way
Coming back around again to chase it away
I could be comfortable in a million forms
I could see me weathering a million storms
In fact there's only one place that I don't want to go today
You got a reason to leave and now I got a reason to stay
Have you become an instrument in the service of another land
And there's a long long list of sycophants they're gonna tell you that it's where you stand
You poor thing got every limb at the end of a string
You wanted to take the world on but you needed everything
And when you stumble up on a familiar face
It's just two kindred strangers occupying the same space
Taking your time and leaving nothing to fate
They got the message out to you but I guess it came too late
Have you become a citizen in the office of another mind
You can stay and plead your ignorance but you're leaving everything behind
You poor thing got every limb at the end of a string
You wanted to take the world on but you needed everything
And you know that this is how it ends
You had it perfect in your mind but the world left you behind again
How could you not know that it would come to this
When you were having such a good time baby swimming in the morning bliss
Allow me to come back down from an earlier fate
I left my mind in an earlier state
