I Can Only Say What's Real to Me

And my teeth are fused,
And I try to speak but I'm only used,
And chosen by the crowd
To be a voice now.

But I can only say...
I can only say...
I can only say what's real to me.

And this is not my nightmare,
But if you listen close there,
You will hear the dogs
Always barking at our heels.

They are my friends,
At least companions.
Hear them barking on the wind,
Here they come again.

They are the rearguard,
So better think hard,
And if your heart's a bit impure
Or you're bleeding anywhere
They're going to be there.

Between the crowd in front
And the stragglers
Drinking dirty water from life's wheel-ruts,
We will find the truth.
We will find the truth.

And I can only say...
I can only say...
I can only say what's real to me.

Between the crowd in front
And the stragglers
Drinking from life's wheel-ruts,
We're going to find the truth.

And we are not alone
Who were born into this foam.
It's you and me and all our friends.
This hard cataract that's coming
Is no more than time's river running,

And though so many of us get called home
We are not alone...

12-12-12 and this was born. :)

The truth is relative to us sometimes, I think. I wish somethings were more universal.
Btw, my heart always bleeds. :nod:
