Skating Away

Meanwhile back in the year one
When you believed in no one
You didn't stand a chance son
If your parents were undone

Cause you were bred for humanity
And sold to society
One day you'll wake up to the present day
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be

Skating away skating away
Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

And as you push off from the shore
Won't you turn your head once more
And make your peace with everyone
And those who chose to stay
Will live just one more day
To do the things they should have done

And as you cross the wilderness
Suspending in your emptiness
And you feel you have to pray
Searching for a sign that the universal mind
Has written you into the passion play

Skating away skating away
Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

And as you cross the circle line
Well the oswald breathes behind
You're a rabbit on the run
And sliver splinters fly in the
Corner of your eye
Shining in the setting sun

Do you ever get the feeling
That the stories too damn real
And in the present....tense?
Everybody's on the stage
And you're the only person
Sitting in the audience?

Skating away skating away
Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
