Hope

[Verse One]
Step out to the pavement where my imprint sits
Surround the town when you just fall to bits
Be scattered to the wind like the dust that we are
But forget about it later when you buy a new car
I'm batting a thousand
Tiny gnats with tiny bats
Release the hounds then
I don't care about that
Got a grimace and a smirk
As I lay in the dirt
I never do work
So I never get hurt
The blisters are from monkey bars
And the wrists no longer have the scars
I just stare at the stars
Imagining where the planets are
Call me buck rogers in rocket to the moon
Got a crew of marauders I'll be clocking out soon
Zoom past the planets asteroids and calamities
Big head, green skin all the martians heckle me
I'm pissed this rock is not made of cheese
Cartoons lied again so sketch another picture please

[Verse Two]
On the way down
From the roof to the ground
I fly one way to meet the roots of this town
I say hi to the mole men in sewer
Old's always bad replace now newer
Innovation improvements
Buff out the new dents
New coat of paint now there ain't any nuisance
Wave to the parade insane city planner
Burn down the newsstand and wave the new banner
Clouds converge to cover our sins
Wash away baptise and now we all win
God bless us and damn all others
Love every one but hog all the covers
Feet are cold once the toe tag hits
So cremate the remains use trash to fill pits
I'm now as flat as the belly of a pop star
Wounds don't heal so the fall won't leave scars

[Verse Three]
I'm up in the clouds
See how the world spins now
And I'm getting kinda dizzy don't know how
I thought I was done
I thought I had won
Another phyrric victory and I'm back at base one
There's no reset button
My fingers peck and hunt and
Stray from the home row
I now where the weeds grow
No red fern for me
I just sink in the sea
Cement attached to my feet
And I guess I'll never break free
But my chapter has now been told
I got a rock on which to hold
No more italics now it's bold
I just found out I'm getting old
Get me the cartography
I need a lantern just to see
Even thicker glasses please
Rice pudding and disease
Everything will be fine
I may have used up all my time
But no need to sigh
Just exhale goodbye
Fade away like Obi wan
Much less wise no magic wand
A puff of smoke now I'm gone
But here's a picture please do fawn
