[00:00.00]Courting My Soul - Marathon
[00:01.30]A midnight game of hide-and-seek
[00:04.47]Within the cemetery gates
[00:07.77]Face pressed against nocturnal fields
[00:11.04]Where granite headstones congregate
[00:14.30]I am not scared in this moonless night
[00:17.28]Everyone here admits they're dead inside
[00:20.75]Corpses below whisper their alibis
[00:23.95]Explaining wasted lives
[00:40.48]So where were you on that stormy night
[00:43.77]Is there a witness who can testify
[00:46.49]That you didn't take your own life
[00:50.21]And hide the body by the turnpike
[00:53.50]We are hollow
[00:55.12]Agents of need
[00:56.64]We reap the comfort while the Third World bleeds
[01:00.00]This will not change until we start to breathe
[01:02.94]Until we start living
[01:06.45]I bought a dozen roses
[01:09.51]And I put on my nicest clothes
[01:13.01]I'm trembling but I look good
[01:16.03]I'm ready to seduce my soul
[01:19.56]Here is a time
[01:20.85]Here is a chance
[01:21.92]To give my life some romance
[01:24.48]And to be greater than the living dead
[01:42.36]Fill up the neighborhoods with art
[01:45.49]Make theaters in our own backyards
[01:48.76]Laugh like you need it to survive
[01:51.88]Sing just to prove that we're alive
[01:57.30]We're alive
[02:02.13]This is our time
[02:02.99]This is our chance
[02:04.27]To give our lives some romance
[02:06.92]Have more to say than just nodding our heads
[02:11.94]This is my time
[02:13.08]This is my chance
[02:14.11]I'm breaking out of this trance
[02:16.63]Climbing out of this hospital bed
[02:21.06]Park path concrete
[02:23.21]Words in chalk challenged me
[02:26.58]This is yours so take it back
[02:34.11]Forge artistry or live passionlessly
[02:39.27]This life is mine
[02:41.79]I want it back
