Past and After Selves

Row, row, row your boat
Then smoke and choke and croak
When you hit the shore
You find it's all a joke
What made me wanna make
The mistake of faking fate?
Straight and narrow isn't exactly
What they preach it to be
No, it's a vow to doubt
Everything that's not that very thing
So set this song on fire
With the demons it may bring
Am I the source of my own hell?
Am I a cluster of my friends?
Am I my past and after selves?
A consciousness that never ends?
What drove us to drive
Nine to fives our whole lives?
A device disguised
As the best way to survive?
"We have perks but you'll need
A benefit for a monument
Unless you save what you make
Or be in debt in your grave"
Am I my past and after selves?
A consciousness that never ends?
Until it does?
Have I done enough?

Wasting arrows
On things we can't see
Our whole lives we are lookin'
For places we can't be
And the substance of our corruption
Is plain but we can't tell
We're busy throwing pennies
Into empty wishing wells
Our yellow sun is still aburnin'
Our world's still spinnin' 'round
But still we search for an end
We know just can't be found
So if tomorrow I don't wake
I'll say I'm sorry for now
But my feet have lifted up
I've floated off into the clouds
Do what you do
See what it does to you
For me I feel brand new
Oh, could it be true?
That I have found
There's no truth to find?
Only made up minds
Counting nickels and dimes?
Singing "Oh, pretty face in the sky
Won't you sell us some good times?"
Woo!
It calms the musician
Who needs not only to listen
But also to feel...
(S)omething
(A)nything
(N)othing
(E)verything
