I take my time like I have time to take
And embrace every moment
because in the next moment it could all be taken away
And then all I would become is a thought
cradled in the back of the mind
occasionally coming forth when I am called upon
and in every instance
dragging pain and remorse along with me
thrown over my shoulder in an unwanted sash
wandering in the sands
dipping my toes in the surf of the subconscious
polluting the waters of my loved oned innocent heads
So take your time
we have all we would ever want

Your cool cranium is undisturbed
by the current of our cruel world
Your eyes are floating in an amber sea
float along through the harmony

Float along, Float along

Static searching you may never find
what you looking for is in your spine
Re-created by the seeking wind
Reach the ending and begin again

Float along, Float along

Twisted like its metal
Twist it like the time
bodies twist together
pleasure on their mind
horror in the hearts
of those you call the gifted
growing ever slowly
Some foreign sands I've sifted

I went fishing last evening and a girl caught feelings
I decided not to through her away,
so I threw her in my cooler and hopped in my truck
I left my pole when i drove away.

When its all said and done, i will have grown into myself
ill be walking down a beach of burning gold
my mane reflecting all of my days,
and my broad weathered shoulders will sway with my stride

When its all said and done, i will make peace with it all
ill sit in the sand and feel its age
touch my skin i have worn along the way
and reminisce with the tales of the marks I've made

When its all said and done, i will walk alone
carry myself along the shore,
i will meet with the people I've loved  
and tell them to remember me well

When its all said and done, ill melt into the sea
ill slip of my cloth and let the foamy surf encircle my knees
and as the warm dark breath of the stars surround my ears
i will realize that I'm free

We all grow up,
we all get a chance to live,
choose your moves,
and watch your back

we will all meet that girl
and miss that chance
or have that night
or slip

We all move along
or give it up
or start again

We all grow old
And lose our love

We all die

Ohh I'm proud of this one
look what he's become
waving guns and leaving mums
bloodied in the sun

run little rabbits
don't let him catch your legs
he'll cut them at the tendons
and keep your brothers head

so young to be so vicious
he's got fire in his eyes
and venom in his gums
and he smiles when he cries

little Adolph Horowitz is a troubled little boy
don't let him in your home unless you wish to be his toy
