I Am the Ride |
| Forms are loosely fitting |
| Jury still are sitting |
| Sense of duty keeps us all in motion |
| Prison sirens wailing |
| That security is failing |
| Do not inspire a lifetime of devotion |
| No one will sympathize |
| No one really tries |
| They need a faith that leads them like a drum |
| And I can hear it pounding down among the ruins |
| Sad to say, I don’t think I’m the only one |
| I awoke and someone spoke |
| They asked me in a whisper |
| If all my dreams and visions had been answered |
| And I don’t know what to say |
| I never even pray |
| I just feel the pulse of universal dancers |
| They’ll waltz me till I die |
| They’ll never tell me why |
| I never stop to ask them where we’re going |
| Yes, but the holy, the profane |
| Are all helplessly insane |
| Wishful, hopeful, never even knowing |
| And they asked if I believe |
| And do the angels really grieve |
| Or is it all a comforting invention? |
| It’s just like gravity, I said |
| It’s not a product of my head |
| It doesn’t speak, but nonetheless commands attention |
| And I don’t care what it means |
| Or who decorates the scenes |
| The problem is more with my sense of pride |
| Because it keeps me thinking «me» |
| Instead of what it is to be |
| I’m not a passenger, I am the ride |
| I’m not a passenger |
| I am the ride |
