After you've worked your life away
And your father's goals are met
With a fenced-in yard and the bills paid
After all your money is Saved
And your status bar is set
You'll climb fearless up The Cascades
You swear
Some day
…and you'll tip-toe to the edge
If there's a safety net
You crawled when you could walk
You dragged your feet as your mouth ran off
All you are is talk
And now you're spent; defeated
As you lie low
Wrapped up in
(clipped dreams)
The security you seek
(won't fly at all)
Can't fall, can't catch up with
Last call. face down. passed out
