walking towards the future
I’m starting to see things a whole lot clearer.
Angel 's whitewashing all the facts.
He's using camouflage paint and a mirror
To draw a target on his back.
Angel's an artist; he stands behind his work.
Angel's the smartest; he stands behind the jerks.
When you walk towards a tree,
The tree gets closer.
When you walk towards the future,
You swear that you can almost hold her.
My pocket watch is hanging on a chain.
I’ve saved time but I’m not sure what I’ve gained.
There’s times you feel like you’ll live forever.
There’s times you feel like you’re pretty darn clever.
There’s times you’re convinced when you answer, “Never”.
Those times are few and they’re far between,
Filled in with a mind swimming in a ravine.
You could swim forever but you’ll never come clean.
You could think on it forever but you won’t know what it means.
When you walk towards a tree,
The tree gets closer.
I wish they did when I am a voter.
When you walk towards a tree,
The tree gets closer.
When you buy a dog are you really the owner?
My barber tells me that it’s my brains growing out of my head.
Says I'll keep losing them till I am dead.
He talks about a crown of thorns.
Says it comes with being born.
Says it might be going but it’s never gone.
That’s something that you can hang your hat on.
