Reason Enough

I won't tell the truth just to keep from tellin' lies
I'm not gonna live just 'cause I'm afraid to die
I don't want to pray just so I won't go to Hell
Not gonna take 'cause I can't help myself
I don't wanna push just to keep from bein' shoved
Oh no, oh no
That ain't reason, that ain't reason
That ain't reason enough
I don't want to stay just cause I don't have to leave
Don't to play it safe just so I won't ever bleed
I ain't gonna walk just 'cause I don't like to crawl
Ain't gonna talk 'cause I'm up against the wall
I'm not gonna love just so I won't be alone
Oh no, oh no
That ain't reason, that ain't reason
That ain't reason enough
Bones up in the attic, secrets in my bed
Voices in the static rattlin' in my head
It's a party-line tonight, hear 'em talkin' trash
See the beast of burden got a monkey on his back
High beams in the rear-view, rain out on the street
All these things I carry with me, miles to go before I sleep
There's the devil that you don't know
And the devil that you do
The lesser of these evils - I don't wanna choose
That ain't reason, that ain't reason
That ain't reason enough
