lazy memories

my soulmate ate for life
and i went home free
still i couldn't figure out what anything ever meant
to me
we interpret the road signs even when they're blurred
it's a hell of a ride
of that i'm sure
still i don't know where i'm going
check the dashboard compass
see how we're feeling now
how are we feeling now
am i coming in clear
not sure where we're going
but i'm clear on where we've been
and it sounds quite right
but not the way i said
nothing should be burned forever
those bridges crossed
not over a river
my eyes
blind
time
uh
something
so pick something new
something
anything
it doesn't really matter
stick your toe in the water
it's frozen shut
and still i went home free
laughing all the way
when
i don't know what was so funny
in the first place
for the last time
nothing on me

but

dirt and skin
who marked the map
with the tick tock roads
who made it so hard
to flip flop fold

still i don't know where i'm going
in the first place

so we listen to the lies and reject all truth
it's funny
at least do the respectable thing and do the easy thing
and we all take turns at once
luckily, it's easy

figure it out later

tell me something, i don't know
straight lines bore you so
pick out a new course of action
from the catalog
pay the fee
and you're suddenly free
post it in the mail box letter
say something you'd better regret
it's just something you need to let
happen on it's own

so much now

and i went home free
