lyrics

ALWAYS
Forget what you’ve bought into
The highlife is within you
You’re just too scared to look inside
For fear of what you might find
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can’t tell you, but I know it’s not mine

And we’re no better by design
This one-horse life’s over before we know it’s started

Thinking of the time
Thinking of the time we spent
It’s hard not to laugh
When they say time and time again,
“I love you, always”

Free will lavishes you with
A choice of one direction:
March on towards your destiny
There is no alternative
The lady’s not for turning
The ends don’t justify the means

And we’re no better by default
Or worth our salt
Or weight in gold
Just plants and rags

Thinking of the time
Thinking of the time wasted
It’s hard not to laugh
When they say time and time again,
That sick joke, “Always”

And when, gnarled and gibbering,
Incontinent, abandoned and forgotten we sit
Chewing over time
Chewing over time
We can’t swallow, we can’t digest
Darling,
Don’t offer false comfort
Never say, “Always.”
