Verse: Dm F C Dm
Dear Pioneer,
You one-note wonder. Please forget expectation and remember exhilaration without hesitation.
Your confessions are dreamt only in pictures, that’s the only thing that ever really meant anything to you.
They make claims to an addict, ‘so soaked within his own talent’ and I cant keep what I have found, you‘re only sewn down to the ground.
But you, the pathfinder, reject that hallow threat. Even a film can have it’s off days, I bet.
And to a world only seen through a two inch screen, you see only in black and white.
You’ve become a bicycle wheel detached from the frame, aimlessly drifting around, that dull pain beating on the back of your brain.
Chorus
You stopped believing and the better man bloomed, it’s hard to imagine you strings have went out of tune.
You make soft sounds, like sugar pouring into coffee. I have pictures of you, but they don’t stare back at me.
And now you spend your most exciting nights in ever-increasingly convoluted ways, convincing yourself of the rightness of each and every frame.
To every king a crown my friend, call me when your kingdom comes crashing to an end… and I’ll be there waiting.
You one-note wonder, please sit besides me, and stare at this film blindly, because I cant bare to look, it’s far too grotesque in my book.
So if you'd care to come along, I’ll curb all our never-ending, clever complaining,
Thoughts have depleted to a tea bag on a saucer, all the flavor gone,
Every book has been discarded from the bookshelf
And I find it rather funny how you think I do this for my own health.
You just cant stop thinking about yourself.
And with every book I look for you, every nook I look for you,
And with this much time on my hands, oh what am I to do.
F Am Dm C
Chorus:
My Pioneer,
My dearest Pioneer,
Please take this wheel and you steer,
It goes on like the record needle in my ear.
(Oh Dear)
End:
And if seconds are what's holding us here, then you, my dear, are the one I fear today.
We've built enough airplanes to fly away from here, my Pioneer.
(Dm)
