Different Lies

getting older wearing loose fit no more dreaming of the prize

you give it all up the only thing still growing is your size

defined by glaciers and groaning like the icepack after dark

when you were younger believing lies the things you said were always true

'cause you were younger you take up the slack; the sorry lines they feed to you

when you're going nowhere you know that any road will take you there

i will lay you down to rest, lay me down to sleep

to let my soul and spirit soar ('cause)

it knows a hundred places it can't hide

if each of us is living different lies

confined to wanting clinging onto things you know you should not have

becoming smaller shrinking down inside the guts you did not have

confined to wishing

wishing on a star that died a million years ago
