The rhyming is loose and clutzy, the melody simple and the chord progression amatuarish. But still, I think I may record this one.<\/i><\/p>\n
The blinding pain of unknowable truth
\nThe searing heat of a feedback loop
\nThe bitter spin of a full chase lock
\nThe white hot fear before you drop<\/p>\n
Dominos is not a game we play for keeps
\nDead or alive, I’m still losing sleeps
\nThe terrible feeling when you can’t say no
\nHearing the engines whine, machine out of control<\/p>\n
Scanning the world for your guiding light
\nLooking for love and kindness and things set right
\nWeakness catches you buying again
\nWhen all else fails, change yourself, old friend<\/p>\n
They were selling happiness, but you bought too much
\nNow you sit here with mind and body turned to rust
\nAnd ask yourself fearfully, how much will come back
\nRub the coppery dust off the old dirty track<\/p>\n
But under that rust still sits a path of steel
\nAnd once your will has a way, the power you’l feel
\nAsk not how much of the light at the end is real
\nReal doesn’t really matter anyway<\/p>\n
One day at a time
\nOne step after another
\nWords plodding rhyme
\nFather and mother
\nFrom the beginning of memory
\nTo the end in dispair
\nFind places to change
\nUntil you find yourself there<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
