“The Glow”

“The Glow”

Wasn’t as predicted, a big, bright flash, finally has come your time
Quicker than an instant, a moment’s passed, then your whole life goes by
Government decision, no questions asked, better get your hatred primed
If it doesn’t kill you right off the bat, you better not go outside

Not yet a winner, but still in the fight
Smile for the camera, turn to your right
Wish there was a way to erase last night
Watching for the glow of the shimmering light
In all of those movies and all of those shows
Just as I predicted I know what they chose
Way too simple-minded with ducks in a row
They all stayed away from the glow

Wasn’t as predicted, a big, bright flash, finally has come your time
Quicker than an instant, a moment’s passed, then your whole life goes by
Government decision, no questions asked, better get your hatred primed
If it doesn’t kill you right off the bat, you better not go outside

A war of the mind where winners, losers all collide
Yet more divide, amongst those walking borderlines

It’s hard to keep staying strong when your idol’s come and gone
It’s hard to keep playing along when your gut has made the call
It’s hard to write one more song about a tunnel oh so long
It’s hard to rely on luck, when you’ve already bet it all

Wasn’t as predicted, a big, bright flash, finally has come your time
Quicker than an instant, a moment’s passed, then your whole life goes by
Government decision, no questions asked, better get your triggers primed
If it doesn’t kill you right off the bat,
You better not go outside…
You better not get in a bind…
You better not fall behind…
