Anywhere Now

Im in a battle with my future 
at guns drawn with my past 
Mind and heart at loggerheads 
I put my peace in a cast 
I put my peace in a cast 
Looking for myself
In an ID parade 
The victim and the guilty 
Sharing a cape
Now, the convict escaped 
The convict always escapes 
Sat in his prison  
Reading memories of bliss 
Directing, a second chance  
Spending pennies of pride
A barman to the lovers dance 
Pouring grapes to the other side 
The grass is green, other side
Will do in his eye  
A Mojito mint in a Mary 
A Martini Olive in the Cosmo 
Suspended in liquid Confidence 
With lonely water in his veins 
Anywhere that he goes 
He can go anywhere now
