Polished my shoes I bought a brand new hat

Moved to a town that time forgot

Where I don't have to shave or be approachable

No I can do just what I want.

I want to walk in that howling wind

'til it scatters all my thoughts

Sit alone on that riverbank 'til I

Forget that I can talk

Just listen.

They say everyone has a choice to make

To be loved or to be free

I told you once I felt invisible

And I'm sure by now you see.

What I meant is I'm not all there

Until I finally leave

Some loneliness is acceptable

And some's just outright mean

It gets even.

Ivy crawls up the garden wall

Builds a ladder towards the sun

Can't be climbed but whose gonna mind

If I claim it can be done

Illusion.

And the sun goes down

And the stars come out

In the distance that I felt I can see it for myself now.

Boarding a train to take my memories back

Make up for time that I have lost

I'll never know if I'm delusional

I just believe that I am not

I'm going to work for my sanity

Give it everything I got

Though so far I have cheated death

I know someday I'll get caught

Just living.

So here we go man it's beautiful

Get your trumpet get your drum

Keep in time in a second line

It can make you feel so young.

I know you say you'll go all the way

But that's not quite far enough

Someone told me that same thing

Some told me that same thing

Someone told me that exact same thing once.
