Full of Riddles
There once was a time where I wasn't concerned with riddles
I just watched you play your fiddle sitting somewhere in the middle
of the lawn
We'd burn down cigarettes and we'd burn down trees
We'd sit inside, I'd gaze in your eyes when I was about to freeze
But now you're gone and still thoughts of you continue to subdue
The sun rises everyday, and I'm still lost without you
But it's okay now, like it always was, like always, it is
Because I'm one of those true blues, counter culture counterfeits
A hippy dippy fool countin on world peace to bring us together
But there's nothin south of the border to change this weather
Because you're out west, and I'm still far to east
A fine line between us now, I don't want you back
You're 10 pounds of shit, I'm just a 5 pound sack
I can't carry you even though I'd pick you up and take you far
Believe me, I never wanted to let you down
and that's why you cut me off, sent me home with a new scar
After it all, baby, I'm so happy
don't take me back, don't mean to be sappy but
After it all, lady, I'm so happy
And I'm climbin' right back
I'm comin' back runnin'
I'm full of flight and jet plane fuel
I'm burning hot and my wings are drying off
From all those tears, those tears, those fears
Pain. Drifting back, feeling insane & naive
Taking off at dawn, please board the plane
Taking off at dawn, please spiral down the drain
And I'm coming out the other end of the drain now
and I've never had to be so strong, trusting in the maw, the mouth of the darkness...
Somehow...
