Give Me the Pen Lyrics
And so we dress to kid ourselves into thinking
That we have nothing left
Why can’t we just shut up and breathe in the moment?
Then we undress and please ourselves
At least that’s what we were taught to think
Is this really worth it?
So they crashed those planes and we all woke up from the dream
The plot twisted - can it be straightened?
Well, give me the pen
I will write the first sentence
So should we just move on or just wait for something to happen?
Well, then nothing happens
Waiting is just fear of change
You’re so scared of change you can feel it
So you think you can change the way things are
Well, give me the pen and I’ll write the first sentence
It won’t be a thesis or a blank question
It will be a song and it will start out with, "And so we dress . . ."
Once the shoe has dropped it will never stop
The future has been scripted, can it be revised?
Give me the pen and I‘ll write the first sentence
That we have nothing left
Why can’t we just shut up and breathe in the moment?
Then we undress and please ourselves
At least that’s what we were taught to think
Is this really worth it?
So they crashed those planes and we all woke up from the dream
The plot twisted - can it be straightened?
Well, give me the pen
I will write the first sentence
So should we just move on or just wait for something to happen?
Well, then nothing happens
Waiting is just fear of change
You’re so scared of change you can feel it
So you think you can change the way things are
Well, give me the pen and I’ll write the first sentence
It won’t be a thesis or a blank question
It will be a song and it will start out with, "And so we dress . . ."
Once the shoe has dropped it will never stop
The future has been scripted, can it be revised?
Give me the pen and I‘ll write the first sentence

"So they crashed those planes and we all woke up from the dream"
That's possible, the CD was released Dec. 11, 2001, and probably didn't take much time to record, so yeah, its feasible. Good thought.
