The Truth of It
Song A Day #1581

Never put aside 
All your childish projections
One foot in the universe
And the other way in between 
Take it for a ride
Take it for a ride
And you'll find yourself right here
Where else could you have gone?

I don't advocate prediction in all things foreign and domestic
Cause then you look the fool and your inner life is messy
But if you are insisting on breaking down the patterns
You can't do much better than the truth

Take my life and make it whole
Hold me close and let me go 
Make the space inside my mind
A train with tickets 
I can rip up
When I am done
And leave them on the platform 
Join the rush of everyone
Even if I'm the last one
To learn the truth of it
To learn the truth of it 

I am feeling sick
And so this melody ain't no melody
I haven't got the energy
To make it more than this
I wanna impress you
I wanna impress you
I wanna impress you so bad
But where do I draw the line?*

I wish I was a machine that could kick the jams out better
Neve making bad stuff just good things by the letter
Some people seem to do that and it makes me kind of jealous
But I just try to focus on the truth
