Skating Away

Meanwhile back in the year one

When you believed in no one

You didn't stand a chance son

If your parents were undone

Cause you were bred for humanity

And sold to society

One day you'll wake up to the present day

A million generations removed from expectations

Of being who you really want to be

Skating away skating away

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

And as you push off from the shore

Won't you turn your head once more

And make your peace with everyone

And those who chose to stay

Will live just one more day

To do the things they should have done

And as you cross the wilderness

Suspending in your emptiness

And you feel you have to pray

Searching for a sign that the universal mind

Has written you into the passion play

Skating away skating away

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

And as you cross the circle line

Well the oswald breathes behind

You're a rabbit on the run

And sliver splinters fly in the

Corner of your eye

Shining in the setting sun

Do you ever get the feeling

That the stories too damn real

And in the present....tense?

Everybody's on the stage

And you're the only person

Sitting in the audience?

Skating away skating away

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
