i’ll leave the names out of it
since so many of them never had one
i’ll leave the names out of it
since so many of them never had one
told myself i’d treat myself to a late night coffee
maybe rewatch one of my myriad favorite movies
anything to distract me
anything at all
anything
trying to find a peace of mind
ain’t none of us along a long, long time
finding the time
trying to find a peace of mind
ain’t none of us along a long, long time
finding the time
i’ll leave the names out of it
since so many of them never had one
i’ll believe in archetype and cliche
since all seems to be a flat circle
scold myself for living myself on the borderline
maybe rewatch myself through another timeline
anything to disillusion me
anything at all
anything
trying to find a peace of mind
ain’t none of us along a long, long time
finding the time
trying to find a peace of mind
ain’t none of us along a long, long time
finding the time
oh, i done killed my imagination
ain’t got that energy for make-believin’ heaven
stay comfortably in the stage of bargaining
i’d commit a felony just to see you again
oh, reading my tarot
and i’m always getting the tower as my future
and i figure time is a contstruct
so it’s forever waiting for the lighting to strike off the rooftop
oh, reading my tarot
