Life begins with tears of gladness
Life ends with tears of sadness
Everything in between
Seems so obscene
I can't cherish your love
Because I can't be above
The time that takes me away
Has left me with nothing to say
I have visions of abstract power
Can they decide on a final hour?
Contradictions tangle my thought
Should I have ran or should I have fought?
In these mysteries I look for guidance
In these mysteries I fear subsidence
My mind is all over the place
I just hope that I can crack this case
I see a light at the end of the tunnel
Propaganda is pouring into my head by a funnel
All I want to do is finish this song
But when its over I might have to sing along
Isn't it funny that sometimes freedom feels like oppression
Or maybe there are too many paradoxes in my mind causing obsession
It seems like there is no way out of this endless doubt
With all the thinking I do you would assume I knew what life was about
I'm going to tell myself to let go of it all
It seems like time to go into a freefall
There's a shooting over here, an abortion over there
A child is born and a love is cast upon the air
The stories I was told as a child live on
But it seems like some fragments are here and some are gone
I relfect and my life seems chaotic and jumbled
Writing this music is the only action which makes me feel humbled
