Rubicon

from A November Life by Joe Sorensen

/

lyrics

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause my words always seem
To get in between

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause I want you to know
Exactly what I mean

I hide behind these eyes
I write this imagery
To block out everything
And hide that I’m empty

I hide behind these eyes
I write the songs I sing
So you will never see
That I am still searching

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause I don’t want my words
To get in between

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause I don’t even know
Exactly what I mean

I crossed the Rubicon
My die’s already cast
There is no turning back
Not that I’d even want to

I’m leavin’ bliss behind
With it goes ignorance
My analytic mind
Has made this final test

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause I don’t want my words
To get in between

I’m gonna keep it simple
‘Cause I’ve already lost
I’ve lost exactly what I mean

La da da do die die die etc.
