Idle Minds

I lost myself in the flashing lights
Spun myself out on the black ice
Uncorked my deeply troubled past
Sorry you had to witness that

So obvious in retrospect
Can't make a happy home of hotel beds
Idle minds, idle minds
In the devil's defense
He got that right

In the black sea the blue pearl floats
When the sun arose a new nation awoke
Way out of touch with what mattered most
A sad machine who'd lost it's ghost

So obvious, no disrespect
But progress comes with side affects
Idle minds, idle minds
In the devil's defense
He got that right

In the short time we have left
Dodging aimless arrows and left
Do whatever you think is best
The end is another way to say "what's next?"
Searchlights search the evening sky
Divers dive deep into the tides
Our idle minds are up all night
It feels so real, so life like
