No-Name Darrell

Running full speed forward every single day
I light a match stick just to see if I can find my way
Every time I run the wind just wants to blow it out
I can’t blame the wind; it’s just my running, running, running
It’s such a shame to waste the moment right in front of you
I try not to but panicking is all I do
All we do all day is bring ourselves back and forth
Like a ferryman bringing his load shore to shore
Give yourself up to the current sliding silently
The past can never stay
The future’s in my way
When will be the day that I realize?
The only time we have is now
I wish that I could find a way to make the running end
To be like no-name Darrel standing with his wind chime friends
Up ahead of me is Neiman-Marcus Day-Glo
Right behind me the ancestors of the buffalo
Now’s the time, the time is now, the now is here the here is how
Why can’t I concentrate?
Trying harder, hardly trying, try again, again, again
Use your body wisdom, use your secret math
Running through the grass
I’m almost out of cash
I was taking out the trash when I realized
The only time have is now
