Anti-Depressive Delivery - Alive текст песни

Ever since I was a little boy
A song has been spinning in my head
Slips away each time I start to sing
And turns into another one instead
Drives me crazy

The day will never come, that's for sure
When there's nothing left to learn
Whenever you think you're on track
Might be the time for a U-turn
Crazy race

Feels like my mind is crippled in the cool morning breeze
Easy to choose when there's no possibilities

Sure as snow will not pile up in hell
Changes sometimes must be made
It might cost you a friend or two
But then again, you always lose a few
And it's always worth it

There's a guy that I once knew
Evil as hell, and mighty stupid too
Riding his horse out in the desert
Almost out of water, in the burning sun
A hundred miles from home, alone in the desert
Hours went by
And they came to a waterhole
And before the man got down, the horse drank it dry
Evil Joe got mad as hell
Spitting and swearing
Pulled out his gun
And shot his horse dead in the desert

Evil Joe didn't make it home
All they found was a pile of bones
All of his family
Were happy as can be

Looking for reasons to stay where you don't want to be
Is like looking for windfallen fruit in December
You are no longer living, you only continue to be
Doing things that you don't even want to remember

So many people gone blind
Looking for things they just couldn't find
Truth can't be found in the eyes of a hypocrite
I used to be a disciple myself
For too many years to count
Almost cost me my life to get out of it

After all these years, my straitjacket's gone
And it's such a relief
To wash away all the anger and grief
And you know, being naked
Makes it easier to conceive
I got it made like you would not believe

Looking back, it appears
There's been too many wasted years
No time for regrets and there's no use in tears,
So I've buried the past, and the grave is my stage
And this is where I belong
So I just keep on singing my song
Cause I'm too old to die young anyway

The never ending quest
For the song that keeps slipping away
Is the only reason I'm around today
And I'm here to stay
As long as the music keeps coming my way
And if there's no tomorrow, I'll see you the following day
