The reel to real

Drink up while it's warm
A time comes to plead
And give the painful yet blessed surrender indeed
So sorry, said elated
So glad said forlorn
I'm willing said regret
I'm ready said not yet

Changes upon changes stack up so imperceptible
It's when i realize i'm empty, i'll know how it feels to be full
Like an enemy soldier brought trembling before, a conquering king to be tried
Only to be embraced, and kissed on the face, and given a robe ring and wine

I'm nothin' but a trespasser, barely escaping disaster
And as the reel-to-reel spins faster, these screams could peel off the plaster
I'm nothin' but a trespasser, barely escaping disaster
And i'm thinkin' to myself son, pull the tape it's time to remaster

You're the only that hope that's ever mattered, to break me down to size
And a lawbreaker's life is just sometimes way too hard to hide
You can have the best of me, all that's left of me everything
And for as far as i can see you can pick up the pieces of shattered releases from me

I'm a starter, and a finisher
Pure-hearted, while sinister
A criminal still but a minister
An ender and a beginner
(3x)
It's time to remast-er
