lyrics

In the event they find me in a field
Disoriented wondering what is real
Don't be alarmed it happens all the time
It's my favorite state of mind

Left hand reminds me of when
It's time to breath
Right hand appears to ascend
Above the small things I believe

In the event I'm floating out to sea
Time to admit you've seen the last of me
You should consider cashing in your doubt
This is what I'm all about

Left foot is covered in blood
It hurts like hell
Right foot pulls out of the mud
My tracks a story they do tell

Memory is not history
You may be certain or unsure
History is your memory
Don't trust the past or the future

In the event I'm pitching a fuss
I'm missing the bus
I'm liable to cuss
In the event I'm no longer a gent
I said what I meant
I was forced to repent

Memory is not history
You may be certain and unsure
History is your memory
Don't trust the past or the future

In the event I'm thrown from the show
I've lost all I know
The wheel's turning slow
In the event I'm late on my rent
My money is spent
The turning wheel is bent

In the event I become the event
In the event I am in the event
I am the event
