I saw a therapist once. She said my problem was that I lived outside the box, and to achieve her definition of success I would have to get in the box.
That was the last time I saw a therapist.
I have seen countless people chasing the dream of financial success and the ultimate glory of upper-middle-management, just to be bored, unhappy, empty. We're animals, driven by instinct. Without risk and danger we are dead inside. We atrophy in our comfort. Without discomfort there can be no change. Without change we cannot grow.
The box is a cage. I'll take my chances in the wilderness.
This song was written and recorded about two years ago as part of an album that I have long since abandoned for something much better which is currently lost on a dead computer.
Between Dog And Wolfwe atrophy
we're calm and comfortable
monkeys throwing shit in the zoo
drowning in our own boredom just to feel alive
we're terrified to wade into the undertow
you condemn me to failure because I can't walk your path
nothing lasts forever and this is all I'll ever have
and if I fall it will be because
I faultered
and if I fail it will be because
I failed
sever the rational
realign
my connection to the divine
the box controls your life
I'm letting go of mine
the box is a cage
I'll take my chances in the wilderness
I'm teetering on the edge of the unknown
your inertia makes me nervous
always clinging to things that really don't mean anything at all
and if I fall it will be because
I faultered
and if I fail it will be because
I failed
