“Enough,” declared my brain
“Agreed,” said my heart
“It’s Bo-time,” said my stomach

At the crux
You will sink
Or you will swim

I have returned to myself
Vim and vigor
For now 

I crawled into your brain
I warned you it would happen
But now I work to unravel the knots

“What a mess you have made
For someone so clearheaded”
I tut as I separate and straighten

If everyone were honest with themselves
They could be honest with each other
But it is a rare thing indeed

Maybe what you want 
Is what everyone else wants too
But you’re too afraid to ask

Or maybe not
Maybe gloom despair and agony
Misery on all

Happiness is a state of mind
Pigs in slop awaiting slaughter
Think they’re happy too

Maybe they are
Because it’s the only life they know
That is no life 

Oh Sarah, here we go again
I can’t get past the pain of what I want to say to you
I’m too old now to learn how to let you in
So I’ll run away just like I always do
She said if there’s something I should know then tell me now
Before I go and give my heart away
So I can get on with my life
You can go on with your strife
Wish you’d speak the words those eyes are trying to say

Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream
I’m floating around on a cloud inside
When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams
Oh Sarah, that’s when I slide

There’s going to be times that I gotta go away
But don’t worry baby I’ll come home
Out on the road is where I’m going to find my way
But I’ll always find the time when I’m alone
So forgive me if sometimes I seem a little crazy
But G’damn, sometimes crazy is how I feel
And my brain is starting to swirl
Down the drain of this old world
And there’s only one thing girl I know is real

It’s the love that I feel in your arms
It’s the glow you wear around you like a charm
It’s the tender in your eyes
That keeps me safe and warm at night
From this life

Oh oh
Sometimes this life feels like a big old dream
I’m floating around on a cloud inside
When my cloud starts coming apart at the seams
Oh Sarah, that’s when I slide
