Nothing tends to go the way
The way you plan it
And by that I mean nothing no how
You do your thing
You carry on and you live out your days
And then you lose track of the here and now
You make a wish
You toss a coin
And you gaze into the reflecting pool
Hope for the best
But what is hope
If not the refuge of the fool
Memory, memory and desire
You wake up in a fright
From a fitful dream
And you wonder if wasn't somehow real
You slip out of bed
And you fall through the floor boards
One more left turn on the karmic wheel
You live out your finite days
Days lived in twilight
Days lived out as if you weren't truly living
The cruelty of this world
The cracked fingernails
The lovers that will never be forgiving
