Not sleeping
Yet so wired
Insomniac dream state
Incredibly tired
Futuristic blind spot
Imperfectly flawed
Going through the motions
Enthusiasm stalled
(CHORUS)
To conquer death
We die
Leaving those we love
To search and wonder why
Words of contradiction
Acts that reek of lies
Society sedated
Lifeless mirrored eyes
Junkies crave escape
Legal or submerged
Fleeing from the pain
Following the urge
I know a cat named “Canine”
In the vein of Genghis Kahn
My moneys’ on the Dog Man
When it’s time to get it on
CHORUS
Gliding through the mainstream
Drifting past decay
Focused on my children
Each digressing day
Train to Machu Pichu
Flight to Montreal
Wandering across the globe
Answering His call
