The Telling

Drowning in ribbon on the strip
Pockets empty and nothing in my hand
With no idea livin' on twenty-six
Took a drive with my mind in a twist

Pedal down, needle is up
Onto the ocean's edge
Into the pitch of black mist

Another night of my life
Wasting time with my life

I hear the spirit say
Look into my soul
You can see it's all in vain
Telling you to wait another day

As I felt the sand
The troubled air was cold
And there she was in the moonlight glow
Holding on for someone old

But it wasn't air she could breathe
It was a lesson learned to see
That what I've become, this could be me

Another night of my life
Wasting time with my life

I hear the spirit say
Look into my soul
You can see it's all in vain
Telling you to wait, another day

I hear the spirit say
Look into my soul
You can see it's all in vain
Telling you to wait another day

Take control of the things that once mattered
And your heart will live on
