Milo

It's like we've driven past a phantom tollbooth

The brother watchdogs are counting time

Rhyme and Reason held captive in a castle

But we're doing fine

Never look down the road today

Past the ending line

Down the road, as we go, still we know

We're never stopping, but we're doing fine

It's like a playground of the mind,

And we'll right whatever we find

We'll set it down

But still, we'll never peter out

'Til the time runs the meter out

And the toll is just too much for us to pay

But still, we know it's better, though

In this world like we'll never know

Are we giving it all up to fade away?

It's like a meeting with Short Shrift

The meaning shift as time breaks apart

With each day as it melts away

From an empty heart

Your thoughts tripped, the pages slipped

We never got too far

You watch as your last night

Recedes from the light of a rising star

Conducting sunlight back to the day

We make the morning symphony play

Like never before, but never again

It's slipping away

But down here in the doldrums

We sleep like we're all right

Let's put out heads together

To escape the coming night

Down here in the doldrums

Neglected as we fight

So busy jumping to conclusions

Our hearts never see the light

Don't fade away.
