Imagination Quota

Sweet sounds and tokens of rapture
Your arm is outstretched to capture me
But my world ends in confusion
Every time I try to live my illusion

So no more of playing your game, man
When it's you that has me in chains
Over and over again 'til I find
I'm half of me and I'm half of my mind's eye

Fill my imagination quota
Quota

Strung out and stopping to wonder
Why I've been pulled out from under me (under me)

I'm so tired of reachin' for higher ground
When each time I'm caught in the shakedown
Too numb to spur what I feel in my heart
Before my feelings begin to depart

I fill my imagination quota
Quota
You know it

There's nothing more defeating
Than your values while they're fleeting
Like the time before your eyes
Never really certain
If it's just another hurdle
Or a blessing in disguise

I'm lost forever it seems
In shreds of luminous dreams
Wasting my time on a timeless impression
Headed for nowhere, a one-way direction

To fill my imagination quota
Quota
