Surreal
An Original Song by Jacques Kuno
2024
The river flows slow cause my heart don’t know if it’s tired of beating
Got the demons in tow firm grasp that I hold keeps me anchored to seeing
That the fire says go run fast as you hope there’s air in the clearing
But you just don’t know and that’s how it goes when the ground hits the ceiling
Can I move this weight, how does it feel so real
Am I losing the race before I make a deal
So I step on the train a rider down by the wheel on for all his days left to chase the appeal
He’s weary in his gaze but his jaw is always locked up in the same old way like cords of steel
‘Cause there ain’t no way he’s balking
At the same old sky and darkness that will show why this is all surreal
The darkness that you feel is all surreal, it’s all surreal
And I left on time in just a way to find myself amidst the fray
And it’s past the time to stay away I’m colorblind to shades of Grey
And if the shameful mind comes out to play with all its reasons left to say that the bridges burned along the way
Just save your dimes for better days
Can I move this weight, how does it feel so real
Am I losing the race before I make a deal
So I step on the train a rider down by the wheel on for all his days left to chase the appeal
He’s weary in his gaze but his jaw is always locked up in the same old way like cords of steel
‘Cause there ain’t no way he’s balking
at the same old sky and darkness that will show why this is all surreal
The darkness that you feel is all surreal, it’s all surreal
Surreal
Surreal
Surreal
Surreal
The foolish try to join the sway
And speak their mind, it’s commonplace
To find your words are all erased by the time they’ve taken place
And if left alone to start the race you best believe that the pool will drain
So call upon your best array and show us why you’re not the same
Show us why you’re not the same
Answer the call when we call your name
And the wheel spins round when we contemplate that the future knows it’s bound to break
Along the way you’ll find your zeal
And the struggles are real but you can feel
That the worst of wounds have all been healed
And the problems left are all surreal
Now’s the time to make a deal
And make a stand for what you can
And what you can’t is all surreal
It’s all surreal …
