Ain't Where I've Been

Original by Ani Dfranco from the song "Subconscience'
from the album 'Reprieve' , released 2006 by Righteous
Babe Records. Edited by Crybaby.

I'm one road bound walking the way that I do
Looking like I'm lost in thought
but I'm looking for You
it's a subconscience the way that I feel
too bad my subconscience life is the more real
Im in bad shape
but I know where I'm going
and it ain't where I've been
I know where I'm going
and it ain't where I've been
Along the way I'm searching for you

Some kind of anxiety gotten hold of my heart
I just want to run home when I feel it start
plastic bottles of hope gagged and ready for a refund
sealed dreams forced in my head
zillion prayerful waves flowing through my hair
nobody is calling me
ain't nobody buzzin' to come up
tossing and turning
I did a few bad things
You know where I'm going
but you ain't been where I've been
I'm in bad shape
But I know where I'm going
and it ain't where I've been

between sleepless dreams
and scattered rough edged prayers
turn my back and my kitty cats
to say one or two
I spread my arms wide and hope someone dives in
falling way deep inside in my inner dialogue
posed on the edge
of everything on me
I am a rough draft manuscript and
With red markers across my body
You circle around me
telling me what I spelt wrong
where I missed a period
and when a sentence should not have been said
and where I did right, where I captured your attention
and where I can create more
I'm not perfect, but I'm getting there cause
Im in bad shape
but I know where I'm going
and it ain't where I've been
too bad my subconscience life is more real
then anything I've ever felt before

We know where were going
and it ain't where we've been
