Scales

from Night Rolls Open by Andy Gibson

lyrics

yeah i could make a big to-do list right now
i could stress, and i could run around and around
but i see now, there’s always more where that came from
and i want out just for a day or two

there are scales weighing every footstep
balancing the good and bad of every step i take
when i sit down, they set off an alarm
and it doesn’t stop until i run in circles again

yeah i could go to the park and sit down
i could watch the ants, they’re just like people running around
but i thought that we had some higher purpose
than to be insects caught in a spider’s web

are we the ones who know how to survive by together going slower
or are we the ones that they crush under their thumbs
you know, they keep us distracted to keep us from becoming one
