lyrics

it was not lost upon us the invention of a lie the alibi, impossible
but we reconcile
we give our thanks
in swallowing it over and over and over again
a brand new car on a contract
signature in triplicate
with a mortgage, interest, an extension of a loan a five year plan, or was it ten?
there’s another tear in the binding pushing, straining, commiserating hating, grating
kicking, screaming
the prodigal son of a wealthy senator, an invalid the only scion

a moonlit night and a promise broken a ritual
with a consequence
a compromise
you weigh in your head, over and over and over again
was it ever really there?
all that sacrifice, sacrosanct, sent to thin air
air you can hardly breathe, let alone grasp
tight enough to pull yourself in any direction
and even if you could, where can you go within one or two arm’s lengths? so
get a grip
catch your breath
and good luck
invention
of a lie
was not lost upon us
a contract
a mortgage with interest extension
