lyrics

Peer along the waterline
mists diffuse the view
fingers pierce the membrane
silence chills the truth

spinning tops and batteries
gifts under the tree
little boys with broken toys
dads destroy their youth

first drink always soothes the nerves
the second numbs the pain
three and four just lead to more
with 5 the rants begin

in a wrestle with the ebb and flow ,
the prophets never tell
the only fight we ever have,
is one against the self

peer inside unconscious minds
where ego Dare not roam
childish dreams and cosmic schemes
live free all alone

where inside this tattered child
Did life veer hard astray
Dad's first slap or mom's first curse
tore innocence away

first drink always soothes the nerves
the second numbs the pain
three and four
just lead to more
with 5 the rants begin

in a wrestle with the ebb and flow ,
the prophets never tell
the only fight we ever have,
is one against the self
