Reaching for Thoreau

When I think about my useless limbs
I see a sad defeated army
A million cells, some MIA
Are we waiting for our Midway?
The reptile mind runs parallel
To the bird mind runs parallel
In the lion mind runs parallel
In my mind

I'm not looking for the naked truth
I've got just enough proof
I'm trying to find creative ways
To keep my head out of the noose

'Cause everybody knows there's no hope in loneliness
And in loneliness there is no hope at all
Everybody knows where grass is gonna grow
But grass has got no reason, none at all

Every night when I go to bed
I remember every word I said
But every word is all alone
And none of them define the whole
My mind runs parallax
I'm dying on the railway tracks
I'm reaching for Thoreau
My mind is here trying to go

I'm not looking for the naked truth
I've got just enough proof
I'm trying to find creative ways
To keep my head out of the noose

'Cause everybody knows there's no hope in loneliness
And in loneliness there is no hope at all
Everybody knows where grass is gonna grow
But grass has got no reason, none at all

In the event that something should happen to me
Burn all my possessions thoroughly

I'm not looking for the naked truth
I've got just enough proof
I'm trying to find creative ways
To keep my head out of the noose

'Cause everybody knows there's no hope in loneliness
And in loneliness there is no hope at all
Everybody knows where grass is gonna grow
But grass has got no reason, none at all
