Makes No Sense

The quick, the awakening dead
Come to life as I’m led
To the highway with few passersby
As I move straight ahead
With the city behind
A few friends tell me why I should stay
But what they say makes no sense to me
Makes zero sense

It makes no sense to me
To live like the normal man
To run like an “also ran”
To sink down the waterhole
It makes no sense to me
To live in the common place
A cog in the paper chase
A heart set on cruise control

Stop! Take a look right here
Everyone’s so clear and they think
They know where you should go
But in the depth there’s a door
And there is a “no” at your core
While they tell you it’s better their way
But what they say makes no sense to me

It makes no sense to me
To live like the normal man
To run like an “also ran”
To sink down the waterhole
It makes no sense to me
To groan in the daily grind
Your love always left behind
Gain a life but lose your soul

It makes no sense to me
To live life painted on
To feel like I should’ve gone
But fear made me stay
It makes no sense to me
To wait when you have to go
Pretend that you didn’t know
You’re one step away

It makes no sense to me
To walk when you could have run
To live like a setting sun
Awaiting the day
It makes no sense to me
The road leading left or right
Toward day or toward the night
You’re one step away
