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."
