Ankle Deep In Daydreams

The light of future's past has begun to show the way
The colors of the lives once lived has all been washed away
Bowing to eternal tide the shores of time are worn
Becoming grains of cosmic sand the new beginning is born

You know how they charm ya and how to disarm ya
To turn your head around
It's all so appealing but it's dirt that they're dealing
Have you had your fortune found

The splashy the flashy the glitter the gold
Get all you can before you grow old

If you get determined they'll preach you a sermon
And send you off with a wink
They'll send you to college in search of some knowledge
But still you can't think

The worried the warried the hurried the harried
Get all you can before you are buried

Do you wanna try
Do you want to find the reason why

You know how they brand ya then try to hand ya
The rose colored glass
Then there's no seeing the ones who are fleeing
From the head of the class

The prophets were poets and we speak in rhyme
We've all had a hand in building the shrine

You may not love it but you're never above it
Whether you work or you steal
The carrot is dangled we're all star spangled
Chasing ideal appeal

But we're bought and we're sold we're all controlled
We've carried a weight that's too hard to hold

Do you wanna try
Do you want to find the reason why
