lyrics

In perfect view
A missed opportunity confused and all askew
So consolidate

Miracle cure
Pats on the back or more obscure potential for
A blessing

So the choice is yours
Is this who you are or who you were?
System restored
But it made you late

Where the soul dreams
Of all you tried so hard to be
And it's interesting new geography

Scatterbrained and requesting changes
Sent in a draft
Polyrhythmic pages
Highest source
Mouth of the horse
Peace offering
But it's such an eyesore

One day when it's worth the same
Penny you spent
Penny you saved
One day when I'll feel the same
What choice was I supposed to make?
