lyrics

Everybody's wandering in a circular sort of motion, and while it may be an assumption (you know, I've got mixed emotions), it seems to me a very meaningless world that we live in...although I'm always confusing my cynical thoughts with wisdom.

So I come not as a poet or any sort of writer, not a philosopher or pharisee, no religious terrorizer! No I come as a man with a terrible question in mind: Is every second alive just a miserable waste of our time (though I'm sure all of your answers will truly be a grand waste of mine)?

There was once something greater, yes something infinitely powerful, that would take all my hatred and sadness and cowardice and send them off running, desperate to find an escape! Oh, if I could ever be humble and fall into your loving embrace...is it my pride that is blocking my way to your grace?
