Upon Waking......................It's Just a Game

there was a time i thought i knew what i was sayin,
but now the words come out with obvious complacence
they trickle down and form a world within a bubble
your subtle stare forewarns my future in a puddle

there was a time i thought i knew what i was playin,
but now the tracks come out in unnamed compilations
the labels signed away there soul to solar stations
it's all because the sun became too radiant

and now we're left to burn, the right for flight is pointless
i sharpen all my tools and sculpt myself again
this is a constant change and when i find i lose my way
i have to stop the train and glue wings to the blame


my thoughts go out to sea
and float back next to me
sometimes my life is like
two records mixed improperly

but then there's days like this
where all i feel is bliss
sometimes my like is life, a
seasoned player in the mix

there was a time i thought i knew what you were thinkin
my heart reflects a fairy tale that's so mistaken
once upon a time is now the time i once was down
with bows i wrapped the gift regardless of it's content

there was a time i thought i knew why i was livin
just like the thing that made me i too was creating
it seems a grand mirage this self important vision
the real surprise has been the feeling when i'm givin it away

and now we're left to yearn, the right to fight appointed
i sharpen all my tools and sculpt myself again
this is a constant change and when the maze is lame
i have to rearrange and remember it's a game
