Rat Tale

lost in a dream full of yesterday's vision
trying to follow the instinctive lies
squirming and earning such cries of derision
I was so incredibly wise

Nowhere was somewhere and I wasn't waiting
for others to dig and for others to find
lying and crying with thoughts on debating
sweet senatorial lies

there is nowhere to go at the point of confession
words just keep spilling and spinning away
binding me tighter the lies in concession
spin on to the end of the day

rhetoricly speaking  voice cordings creaking
rambling on and escaping forever never and ever
I'm skating away on  melting ice leaking
faster than family ties
