In Retrograde
I lost my way
On a walk in the palisades
Sat down to read
Under the Wisdom Tree
Words of the wise
That fill these pages with alibis
"Forget what you're told
Hope will save your soul"
Stuck in the fold
Waiting here just to sell my soul
Wasting away
For someone else's gain
Progress is made
But its still moving in retrograde
Misunderstood
For the greater good
Stuck in a way
Waiting patiently all the same
This place took its toll
But never swallowed me whole
Well I lost my way
Thought I might find my way back someday
But hope's getting old
It never saved my soul
I lost my way
On a walk in the palisades
Sat down to read
Under the Wisdom Tree
Well I lost my way
Thought I might find my way back someday
But hope's getting old
It never saved my soul
