๐ Lyrics
The pictures far too big to look at kid
Your eyes won't open wide enough
And you are constantly surrounded
By the swirling stream
Of what is and what was
Well, we've all made out predictions but
The truth still isn't out
But if you wanna see the future, go
Stare into a 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
Well, is it your fear of being buried
That makes you so afraid to speak?
An avalanche of opinions
Like the one that fell that I am now underneath
It was my voice that moved the first rock
And I would do it all again
So I mean, it's cool if you keep quiet but
I like singing
So I'll be holding my note
And stomping and strumming
And feeling so very lucky
There is nothing I know
Except that this lifetime is one moment
And wishing will just leave me empty
So you can try and live in darkness
But you will never shake the light
It will greet you every morning
And it will make you more aware
With its absence at night
When you're wrapped up in your blanket babe
That comfortable cocoon
But I have seen the day of your awakening boy
And it's coming soon
So go ahead and lose 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, Momma
But I'm standing up
Because this veil is has been lifted, yes
My eyes are wet with clarity
I've been a witness to such wonders
Oh I've searched for them across the country
But I think I'll be returning now
To the town where I was born
And I understand you must keep moving, friend
But I'm headed home
Yeah I'm gonna follow the road
And let the scenery weeping by
Easily enter my body
And I'll send you all this message in code
Under ground, over mountains
Through forests and deserts and cities
All across electric wire, it's a baited line
The hook is in deep, boys, there is no more time.
So you can struggle in the water
And be too stubborn to die
Or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky
Your eyes won't open wide enough
And you are constantly surrounded
By the swirling stream
Of what is and what was
Well, we've all made out predictions but
The truth still isn't out
But if you wanna see the future, go
Stare into a cloud
And keep trying to find your way out
Of that maze of memories

Until you get up close and it's different, clearly
