We Could Wake Up And Be Laughing

Making many little wagers
Placing bets upon myself
Working on some drastic changes
Clearing off a dusty shelf
Making room for things to come
Pushing forward past the years
Sitting in the dark alone
Held me back and fed my fears
Pressing on to fresh ideas
Ones we all would like to be
I've replaced my rear view mirrors
Forgetting all the old have seen

If We Don't

Inclusion disillusion fighting the fire inside
They've taken all the pieces and the queen has long since died
The board sits dusted over with broken bits of glass
The pawns have fallen over and king is at impass
With no more moves to make we find ourselves within a bind
The game cannot reset and there is nothing left to find
