From the recording A Telltale Rush

Lyrics

Turn a blind eye the situations out of focus
The ventriloquist delegates a battered showcase
Delivers a spark
Dare yourself to ignore it
Out of time out of line
Bustled and frayed

Every once in awhile
You gotta shake hands with the struggle
In order to get by convincing yourself it’s worth the trouble

A deafening blow to the ego oh well step aside
Falsities drift while mist watches fog lift
As syndicates cringe
Finally on the backside of the mends

Every once in awhile you gotta shake hands with the struggle
In order to get by convincing yourself it’s worth the trouble
Tremors to wit
Asunder and bit
Scurry back to the shadows
Every once in awhile you gotta shake hands with the struggle

This time I find I’m serious
All the time I’m delirious
This time I find I’m serious
All the time I’m delirious
