It Was Me

Lost and adrift at sea
Can't help noticing the signs
Life's gonna have to come and take it from me
The dream I thought was mine

Did I mistake a risk for a promise
What can't be lost for enough
Lookin down in a grave
When I wanted to call destiny's bluff

It was a cloudy distinction
Between this cocoon and other ways
To go or see
It was every raindrop prayer
In this whole dirty ocean
It was me
It was me

It's all rotten artificial
Built too high up off the ground
Connected by the tubes
And the wires
Hangin down

To a cruel hopeless system
Growing its pods off itself
Till there's nothing that ain't
A substitution
For something else

Run around a bit
Get the blood movin
Etc and so forth my story's
Whatever was on tv
Jerkin off in the sink like a hobo
Real life was never my forte
Had a fantasy
It was me
It was me
It was me

My love would overwhelm me
This ugly pageant
Suspending disbelief
Over the corpsesmell and the laughter
Static in the dark tryna quit and get free
I blamed the system
But it was me
It was me

Woah
I'm on the other side
Ah oh nothing
To get behind
Woah
I'm on the other side
Ah oh of
Some grey(t) firing line

Hey man
I just wanted to say that
I lived all the blueprints we laid out
The chicks
The money
The success
Homes
The philanthropy
Retired to the ranch where i sought enlightenment etc etc
But i gotta tell ya
I wouldn't change a thing if i was still who might become you
Keep it up ok i love you man
