Trip Tape, Vol. 6

When I line my silver plate And beg the lord my soul to take I'll spring clean inside my mind Dispose what I should leave behind If it's true what they say That it will forever be this way Then why when I observe the sky Do all the clouds still pass me by Some bring rain and some the snow It'll start to melt I hope We cope with faded memories Of crossing creeks and climbing trees Branches reach the powder blue I swear I'll never let go of you Who root me to a solid ground Recover my soul from the lost and found We'll clean the slate, begin again Follow the path to the end Take in all there is to see Scream elated Golly gee It's always hard putting in to words The things that border on absurd Like thinking thoughts, connecting dots Remembering things that we forgot If time is such a fleeting thing Some may call it poisoning Then why when I look in your eyes Do all the clocks seem tantalized Their hands reach out and try to grab The freezing quality you have They only wish that they could be Something in between you and me But we refuse, we decline To let the moment pass us by We'll plant our feet and hold our ground They can never stop us now We've come too far to let it go We clung to pain, now cling to hope The rope removed from around our necks We hit record and direct A symphony of elegies For fading scars entirely The memories we'd like to keep Will be held indefinitely We've come too far to let it go We clung to pain, now cling to hope We've come too far to let it go We clung to pain, now cling to hope
