|
Walked in the world, became a Catholic |
|
Their oil & their guilt |
|
Somewhere in high school switched to atheist |
|
Your anger & your will |
|
Turned 25 freaked out by everything |
|
The bodies piled up |
|
Fled to your mind when they stopped listening |
|
And said, "Enough's enough. |
|
What if it's all just jokes? |
|
Casper, The Holy Ghost |
|
What if it's all just stones you get to throw?" |
|
And every single time that you opened your mouth |
|
Someone else's lies came tumbling out |
|
Parading as the truth in a cap and a gown |
|
A graduated curse that you cast to the ground |
|
To settle your debts you took a dozen steps |
|
Or started on the path |
|
Kept falling off when faced with righteousness |
|
You couldn't work the math |
|
God in the wood, the words, the coffee pot |
|
It wasn't adding up |
|
At war with yourself, afraid of everyone |
|
You said, "Enough's enough. |
|
How could you ever know? |
|
What if you said you don't? |
|
What if you cleared your throat and let it go?" |
|
So every single time that you opened your mouth |
|
Something like the truth came struggling out |
|
A picture of the past you kept whittling down |
|
To a version of yourself you could follow around |
|
So what if the end just ends? |
|
It's worthless to worry, then |
|
To wrestle yourself to death again and again |
|
Now every single time that you open your mouth |
|
Give yourself a breath while you're working it out |
|
The answer's in between all the concrete and clouds |
|
It's anywhere you want |
|
Yeah, it's next to you now |
