The day is not long enough. I put ideas on scraps of paper and the pile just keep growing. Like the change I wish I had in my pocket, the weight of all that Inspires feels very large. Pounding on my shoulders. Jangling around my memory.
lyrics
these things i carry with me
drag my ass deep into sleep
bothered oh! list of pieces
just not ready for assembly
not ready as ill ever be
all these things i carry with me
just loose weight
like a strangely hollowed recess
that long train that seemed endless
just taking on more cargo
deranged determination
keep pushin never unload
seems like ive been around
the world countless times before
i just cant count again
i cant keep track no longer
of this loose weight
tighten grip to hard to swallow
like a dream you cant remember
to much time to figure
as your stranded at the station
keep waiting for an "all aboard"
been down this road a thousand times before
i just cant keep on waiting
all the ways i see the truth yet so hard to touch
this loose weight
