Stephen Covell - A Format For The Future lyrics

rate me

I believe it's been precisely planned

The day the world will end

Well all be vacationing holding hands

Lullabies sung by a steel drum band

And by then I'll have figured out

Why all I ever did was shake my fist

For no one to see when I read

Of a million dead so now what's left

Just a prodigal catastrophe

And if I sound bitter please excuse me

But it's hard for the ant to imagine

Telling the forest to see it's self through the trees

Can some one please hand me a clue

I've exhausted my ammunition

I've got so much left to do

But it seems to be lacking direction

Dry erase our history

So it's easily wiped away

Effervescent in it's simplicity

How conveniently I forget

How I wish to be a boy again

Or to recreate the boy within

Someone semblance of someone I once knew

But my inks soaked through my journal

The blood of my youth has all but escaped

Leaving in it's wake tired poems

Grab what's to take and get going

Just a prodigal catastrophe

And if I sound bitter please excuse me

But it's hard for the ant to imagine

Telling the forest to see it's self through the trees

Can you excuse me please
