the great upstaging

i told you my dreams i couldnt repeat
so i'll write em down
maybe then you can see
i dont have a rational sense
i'm going to the garden
and im chopping down the knowledge tree

i'm told i gotta believe in somethin
so i remember what it was
that johanna said
"you aint dead"
no i aint dead

give me reason
or give me discontent
im finding neither after casting out
on both sides with my net
ive been bullied out onto the water
i was told when i almost drowned
that i showed bravery
but risking everything with someone
breeds stupidity

i'm told i gotta believe in somethin
so i remember what it was
that johanna said
"you aint dead"
no i aint dead

one day when tyrants fall
and lovers run to embrace
i will be in a museum
trying to remember your face
