can't persuade ya, i can't lead the blind
with a wink and a nod and a drink of wine
perhaps two or three more down this time
until it goes all tipsy and time is mine,
it seems i've lost grasp of all sober signs,
where we go, even the colours rhyme,
so sit down and toss one back with me
let your inhibitions go, let's be free
turn your mind off and live the life
that you want to live, turn off the hype
tone down the madness and stress
and don your vest, do what's best
and live the life that you would confess
to hold no distress, nothing less than bliss,
turn your head away, come another day,
or find the place where you can stay.

dream it out and find your place
or live your life like a complete disgrace
hide your fears and show your face
or don your mask and run the race,
there's no right choice, and yet no wrong,
your life is your own, so make your song,
run it short, or let it play out long,
distance yourself or approach the throng
of feelings that define your very soul
and attach yourself to what makes you whole,
do you set yourself up to fall down again?
or is life something more than the within, within?
there's no answer for me, you, or them.
but to live through life and find it on a whim,
tear down your walls and open your heart,
and maybe then you'll be able to go far.
