Matthew Pickup & the Movement

What’s Real? (Pickup)

So hard to turn away. I still have the taste.
The dream still haunts me while I’m awake
    Distract all my meaningful purposes
    Please go, even though I need it
    Please go, even though I need it
        Now more than ever … maybe more tomorrow
        Now more than ever … maybe more tomorrow
What’s Real? After all this time, I think I forget
So much time chasing; look down, where is this?
    No problem knowing the object of all these steps
    Seem to forget the final step that makes them all work
        Wither waste away; shiver sift away
        Skin, shake away; shiver shift away
Push me away and hold me down
It’s for my own good I’m not strong enough to walk away
    Done Reaching. Done waiting. Creeps under the door
    Done Reaching. Done waiting. Captures many thoughts
Push me away and hold me down
It’s for my own good I’m not strong enough to walk away on my own.
