Life after high school was a canyon
Ten miles wide and 20 songs long
I trekked the whole thing in a troop
Some starved some bled none ever recouped
When I look back
It'd be nice to say
I found myself along the way
But the hike hasn't been a Disney movie
And I'm not a talking lion hero
Truth is my life has always been more like
Something directed by George Romero
So when I finally stumble onto the finish line
I'm struck stone by what I find
I stand all amazed
At a massive grave site
My life was all staged
I thought I was a pioneer
But every corpse is screaming out
There's hope again
There's fuel again
A fleeting chance
A closed window with no pane.
