i don't know which way to go
so i wonder
as the zodiacs reconfigure
and i'd be glad to take their advice,
i'd be glad--
summon me on some vision
where i can win, where i can win
where i can know that i've done
what i'm supposed to.

its the oddest thing to realize
that despite the fact you'd like things
to maybe stand still,
there's nothing you can do
no rank you can achieve
to never have to
move on

each step is heavy
and i only move cause
i've learned to turn off my memory
for brief bouts of magnificent nows
but when i remember
how easy it would be
to go back and ask
if you're sure
if you are sure
if you are so sure

that i need be on my way

maybe i could stay
then maybe i could stay with you
and we can pretend
that our horrible visions
were just false alarms
and our hand-held world
just isn't over yet

but i know better
to whimper without refuge
to want in moments weakness
and when everything clears
what once was so needed
is deemed a coarse weight

in the quiet darkness of
potentiality i shrug my mind
i rest my heart
