Always

Forget what you've bought into

The High Life is within you

You're just too scared to look inside

For fear of what you might find

What do you see when you turn out the light?

"I can't tell you, but I know it's not mine"

And we're no better by design

This one horse life's over before you know it started

Thinking of the time

Thinking of the time we've spent

It's hard not to laugh

When they say,

Time and time again,

That stupid word:

"Always."

Free will lavishes you with

A choice of one direction:

March on towards your destiny

There is no alternative

The lady's not for turning

The ends don't justify the means

And we're not better by default

Or worth our salt

Or weight in gold

Just plants and rags

Thinking of the time

Thinking of the time wasted

It's hard not to laugh

When they say,

Time and time again,

That sick joke:

"Always."

And when,

Gnarled and dribbling,

Incontinent,

Abandoned and forgotten we sit

Chewing over time

Chewing over time

We can't swallow

We can't digest

Darling

Don't offer false comfort;

Never say,

"Always."
