Somewhere between Peter Gabriel and Pink Floyd with a touch of the Chemical Brothers, how's that for a genre!
this is the minute I used to reach out
this is the way I used to escape
this is the phantom that hides behind my eyes
leaving me to daydream in the middle of the night
this is the way I cope with the day
here is the paper I can't throw away
this is the dream that's lost in the fray
here is the easy rhyme I chose to say
(chorus)
I'm a joke, I'm even laughing at myself
it seems so worth it but it's just a lie
clueless, and fighting with a pack of dogs
all for a piece of imaginary pie
this is the second I save for myself
I won't spend it I'll place it on a shelf
maybe I can collect enough to breathe
maybe I can use it to quickly leave
this is the poem I never wanted to write
like a tired old dog that tried to spend the night
on your porchstep, in your yard, just a flash in the life
can you ever remember I once had a bark and a bite?
(chorus)
I'm a joke, I'm even laughing at myself
it seems so worth it but it's just a lie
clueless, and fighting with a pack of dogs
all for a piece of imaginary pie...
