When we go are we aware that we're not here any more?
And where we go, is it a place of love? Is it a place at all?
Must a man suffer for loving a lover's lie?
"Lying with a phantom isn't such a bad thing."
Fallen angels or risen apes?
If there isn't an answer is a question worth asking?
Too close to focus, too distant to see-
Wake up at three AM no longer drunk, but still dizzy.
And searching for a sound, or a silence- anything to pull the cosmic trigger.
Send me off, just send me out for good.
All these words get caught between
What we say and what we really mean
Because there's no clarity at all, just endless gray.
So what's there to say? Caught by surprise every day.
I guess nothing is given away. We pay for everything.
You can't control the current/not the wind that fills your mast.
But you can control the current/in the way you view the past.
Do we see the end coming,
or does it just stop?
