Lyrics
OF ALL THE AWFUL THINGS TO OVERCOME,
YOU'D FIGURE DREAMS WEREN'T ON THE LIST.
I'M STARVING FOR METAPHORS.
BUT I'M SURE BY NOW YOU GET THE GIST.
A SUDDEN CEASE IN THE NIGHTMARES.
LEAVING SULLEN, SICKLY STORIES.
SO IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,
YOU JUST MIGHT SEE THE PATTERN.
STRESS CRACKS IN THE FOUNDATION.
AND THEY'RE SLOWLY HEALING,
BUT LIKELY CHAOS COMES IN EIGHTHS.
WHICH BEGS THE ALLERGIC QUESTION:
DID I REALLY BEAT THE PROPHECY,
OR AM I WALKING FACE-FIRST INTO FATE?
EVERYTHING IN THE SULLEN, SICKLY STORIES.
HAS BEEN SOAKED IN ALLEGORY.
SO IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,
YOU JUST MIGHT SEE THE PATTERN.
THE TRAGEDY IN SWEET REFRAIN.
WE LEFT AS SOON AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.
DRIVING FAR AWAY FROM THE DREAM.
PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAILS.
BUT LIKELY CHAOS COMES EIGHTHS.
I STARTED NODDING OFF,
SHE TOOK OVER THE WHEEL.
SHE BEGAN NERVOUSLY RANTING ABOUT SINGULARITIES.
BUT I'M SO EXHAUSTED, I CAN'T KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON THE LACK OF NIGHTMARES.
THE CALMING SOUNDS OF THE OCEAN, OR THE SAME THREE STATIONS,
LIKE PERFECT RERUNS.
IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION,
YOU JUST MIGHT SEE THE PATTERN.
WHAT AN AWFUL THING TO TRY TO OVERCOME.
THE ONE TINY SOLECISM.
