In and Out

From the album Geometry

And aren’t you just like me
You imagined a destiny
A world where you mattered
Molds that were shattered

Remember when you were young
You wanted to be someone
Change some hearts or some minds
Wax it down, watch it shine

Out of the box
Into the soup
Out of the gate
Into the mix
Out of the clouds
Into the grind
Into the space
Out of time

When did your hot go cold
How come you’re not so bold
Go put on your Sunday best
Grow up and settle for less

Spend your days with the dogs
Weighted down, waterlogged
Liars, cheaters and thieves
Hiding things up their sleeves

And will you make the grade
Can you tell sun from shade
Can your heart still burn
When will you get your turn

Out of the box
Into the street
Out of the house
Into the waves
Out of the ground
Into the clouds
Into the space
Out of the crowd
