Passage to Paralysis

In My Experience An Act Of Passing Takes The Stage

In An Interchange Of Confidence

In My Experience An Obligation By Design

Where My Liberty Is Just A Word,It's Just A Word

In My Experience An All Consuming Type Of Dance

Embracing A Silent Partner Who Takes The Lead Away

Just When You Thought You The Hang Of It

In My Experience Mind And Matter Time And Space

Play An Endless Game Of Endurance

All In A Lifetime Of Work Fatigue Reaction,

My Body Slows But My Mind Is Quick

Firing Thoughts In Random Succession

My Passage To Paralysis Might Seem Diverted

Well I Can Tell You

I Can Feel It Coming On, I Can Feel It Coming On

In My Experience The Center Of Trade For My Soul

My Humanity Knows When I Try To Back Away

Or When I Raise The Mammoth

Penance Aside When Expression Resides,

Strike A Blow For The Teacher Who Got Me Thinking

Listen My Son, You Have Got Only One Chance

There's No State Of Grace For A Poor Man's Offering

I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years

And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction

'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now

Let Us Stray From My Course, Turned Away

When It Came To The Day,That I Needed Something,

Turn To Stone, Turn It Over Alone,

Light A Path, Find A Way To My Promised Land

I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years,

And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction

'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now

I Face My Passage To Paralysis,

Can't Stop This Free Fall Of Analysis

I Face My Passage To Paralysis,

Just Brace For Impact In A Long, Long, Long

Long, Long, Long, Long Stall

In My Experience, I Pause Before And After,

In My Experience, I Learn Before And After

That The Time Has Come For Reflection,

On My Passage To This Hemisphere

In My Experience, A Piece Of Music Or My Favorite Book,

And An Evening Alone, Makes Me Think About "Someday",

When We All Raise The Mammoth

'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now

'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now

Hit By The Force Of A Madman's Recourse,

Pound A Fist, Wayward Course For Such An Old Man,

What Will I Make When My Spirit Awakes,

And My Endgame Is Only Another Start ?

I'm Lost In My Drama's Tears, Been That Way For Years,

And I Don't Know If It Is Real Or Fiction

'Cause I Can't See The Forest For The Trees... Now

Why Am I Left To Waiting ?

Why Do I Feel This Pressure ?

Why - When It's Only Me Here ?

I Write My Own Destiny,

With My Fears Of What I'll Be,

And I Can't Pretend To See,

What I Just Can't See

How Did I Ever Get Here ?

How Do I Make A Change ?

How Do I Find A Peace Here ?

Prevent Disaster, Annihilate This Plague,

A Principle Brew Motion, My Procession Is Vague,

My Souls Stirs A Brew Of Redemption That Is Lost.

I Awake From A Stupor And Realize The Cost,

Now I Realize The Cost

Now I Realize The Cost Is Great,

And I Wait For A Reason To Stay, My God
