lyrics

A man wakes in the morning sounds of static start to hiss
He fingers through newspapers as the weatherman predicts
He smokes on the car ride flicks a cherry to the wind
He’s checking his mirrors as another day begins

At work he plugs his ears so he can drown out the machines
As his body labors tactfully his mind begins to dream
Then he turns off the real world and it all just disappears
Distractions are the key to living life that’s free of fear

It makes him forget…

The bell tolls at three thirty shakes his head and wakes again
Ill felt goodbyes flood the floor from fellow men
He stares straight in traffic on the radio his friends
He’s checking his mirrors as another day ends

At home an empty chair has been waiting longingly for him
The fabric like a lover touch he falls and then sinks in
He turns on the TV and it all just disappears
Distractions are the key to living life that’s free of fear

It makes him forget…

Awaken from his slumber by newscasters telling tales
He stays up to watch the televangelist make sales
Turns off the TV silence finally fills the air
He stops for a moment sheds a solitary tear

Alone in his room at the end of his bed
He watches shadows shift and silently begin to spread
He stares at the ceiling and it all just disappears
Tomorrow holds the key to living life that’s free of fear

It makes him forget…
