The
Finishing Line

I've
seen us blind as we wink our smiles
Our heads swellin' bigger than the ocean
Heard us chide, laughin' criticizin' all them little lies,
Now I can't even look into my own eyes.
You
talk about faith, how it makes you wait,
Hopin' for the "We" generation.
They can make you believe with a fistful of seeds
You'll be dancin' through those gardens you desired.
So drink up that wine & hold yourself kindly.
You
gotta keep your feet in motion
Even when you feel you've fallen behind.
Hungry for that taste of devotion
Your fate runnin' faster towards the finishing line.
If your gonna keep your thoughts in the clouds,
Take a good look soon you won't be around.
You're more than just another face in the crowd,
When you've got it made, sleepin' in the shade,
Lookin' down at me, restin' peacefully, so peacefully,
Oh, now can't you see
I only want to live peacefully
Oh, yah.
Peacefully. So peacefully.
Givin'
up your love for the sake of greed,
Spinnin' lies, hypnotized, lost in temptation.
Throws you for a loop, a crazy ride
Wheelin' 'round in circles, drivin' recklessly.
It can't get any harder feelin' stranded, naked on a high wire.
It can't get any harder when your stranded.
