Another Year Rolls Away

As patient as you pace your days
There are no other ways
To acquire your pain
Than to hustle through that 9-to-5
To keep yourself alive
Roll that hunger away

But if the life you live ain't hard and true
A job ain't saving you
It's survive, eat, shit, love, and then die
I’ve over-simplified myself
Tried to disguise myself
Just like everyone else

And if a master's rule ain't far away
From what your views display
A convey
But I won't go if I don't know the way
The sky just plays
Going day by day
As another year rolls away

Suddenly as young as old
Your mortal mass unfolds
To sail uncertainty seas
I found myself on mercy’s time
Singing drunk on wine
Looking for my memories
I found a path of autumn leaves
A distant solar breeze
A long lost love in a bow

But lovers come and lovers go
Make you laugh and get you low
Do you wrong like everyone else
And if that light is far away
Do not be let astray
As fast as lightning trains you do it for yourself

But I won't go if I don't know the way
The sky just plays
Going day by day
As another year rolls away
Yes sir
As another year rolls away

It’s easy to call out your king
On any shameful thing
If you know him by name
But your ruler’s tongue is just a guide
A well-harpooned disguise
Your wells are one in the same
And the oceans we (brought?) you bestow
Your tides are high and low
Swim the way of the wise

As mercy springs its cross to bear
The starlight doesn’t care
You’re just like everyone else
And the journey starts by going slow
Then before you know
There is just no more show
There’s no place left to go

But it keeps growing exponentially
Till it’s plain to see, however painfully
You do it for yourself
And the universe is hard and lean
Covert social machine
I'm just another fiend
A will unto himself

But I won’t go if I don’t know the way
The sky just plays
Going day by day
As another year rolls away
Yes sir
As another year rolls away
I say
As another year rolls away
As another year rolls away
