Lyrics

This restlessness
Mind goes east, heart goes west
Thinking one way must be best
Neither mind nor heart at rest
Set sights on only one
Follow moon and shun the sun
Buy into separation
You're lost lamenting what you've won
Paths not taken
Just dreams of dreams in which dreams died
Thirsts not slaken
A dram of spirits fortified
All the eggs in one basket
Heart of stone was once just set
Caught within the trapper's net
The prey we wish we could forget
A rose by any other name
Has the scent of same same same
When muffled by the clever claim
Of one who says it's all a game
Paths not taken
Just dreams of dreams in which dreams died
Thirsts not slaken
A dram of spirits fortified
Buy the world some lingerie
Explain the roles you want to play
Dollshouse, tea tray, train-set rails
Rules by which the whole world fails
I want to taste it all without
Plates of faith and bowls of doubt
Spoons of hope and knives of fear
Forks of roads that are not here
Paths not taken
Just dreams of dreams in which dreams died
Thirsts not slaken
A dram of spirits fortified
