Imaginary quicksand
Imaginary lines
You lay down in a bed of yourself
And wonder why you can’t wake

Therefore you took a stance
It flashed you at a glance
The prison walls crumbled around you
And you simply walked out
Walked out

Slaves and the grind
You left it all behind
The path of a king
The boxing ring
And it’s everyone’s title bout

They just fight on like they need to
Watching all those people bleeding
They just fight on
And it’s hard for them to ever break out
And see through

And so it seems
But that’s all it does it seems

Say goodnight, blow up the whole known world
Say goodbye to all those old ways
Hindsight and wasted time
Slashing up all those traces of yesterday

Say hello to the clear black glass
Beautiful emptiness
Now say hello to your new face
And the new blood that’s pumping through your veins

Don’t look so hard for the light
That you stare at the sun
And end up blind
Let it ride
Kill your pride and let go
Down deep

A hundred million thousand something
You lose count and keep on running
Then you just stop and take a breath
And there’s your answer
You see through

Or maybe you forgot your name
A portrait of a face to be
Alive and well
