Citizen Fish Central Nervous System Lyrics

Comfort?
Sofa chair,
pacifying words,
a touch on the shoulder to tell me that you'd heard.

Understanding to attention just in case you heard
it wrong.
A few of contradiction cause your feeling can't belong
to this given situation that no one can take away.
A smile a nervous glance,
'Well, I'll be back some other day'
but you really had to go
and left this atmosphere behind.
So now it's back to circumstance,
solutions hard to find.
As I turn the burning embers
of a past that recently
I'd found harder to remember
than I thought was good for me.

But once confirmed
the truth had pulled that "recently" to shreds.
Now the obvious lies bleeding
and the future holds my breath.
Shall I turn the page and start again?
Or throw the book away?
Shall I tell you of these feelings?
Or find something new to say?

It's the act of making choices,
asking questions hearing voices
missing pain and self-resentment
with a knowledge that contentment
is a process of selection because
in every situation
there are good and bad directions you can go.
You can wallow in the fantasy,
regenerating memories,
or use the open scenery.
Impulse flow more easily
if all the good things disappear
for what seems like eternity.
Remember you created them
by being what you'll always be.
Receiving input,
giving back makes you tick in time.
Natural instinctive tack running up the spine.

Use your central nervous system
to help make up your mind.
Looking out with indecision
wastes a lot of time.

If it feels good, take the risk
and here I am talking like this.
Saying "you" instead of "me"...

but experience is globally
perceived as being basically
a common sense capacity
to understand the variety of influence
upon the way we are.
Having gone so far,
there is no reasoning can stop us
once we've reasoned what we've got.
