Person's Just a Spine

Am I living, am I living a dream?

The kind that makes you wanna wake up

Where is it living, is it living in me?

I can’t seem to shake it

I wanna tell you how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking

But everybody’s already made up their minds, chosen their side

There’s not a topic that we don’t all know for certain

How many times are they gonna pull the curtain?

A person’s just a spine, muscle, and a belt buckle

Nothing else, you can forget your heart

A person’s just a smile, muscle, and frame

Given all we need to ascertain what’s real, but we leave it

And we feel it, to the bone

You think you really know your neighbors?

Or tune ‘em out ‘cause a sticker on a windshield

I’m just as guilty, only know them in my own mind, see them through dim light

We’re going under though we always played our cards right

A person’s just a spine, muscle, and a belt buckle

Nothing else, you can forget your heart

A person’s just a smile, muscle, and frame

Given all we need to ascertain what’s real, but we leave it

And we feel it, to the bone

As soon as we find out who’s to blame

We close our eyes and we aim

I hope you get your way

You and I, we’re just the same

I’ll guess I’ll keep on saying

Damn this foolish game
