Faith for the doubters- rather not worry for the world tonight.
Doubt for the faithful- we'll never get to a place where it's all right.
Can't we dream any louder? We've still got time.
Just keep breathing, you'll be fine.
Walls of fire, every side.
Through signs I've known the noise collides.
Two for two. Now where am I?
Dissolving into circuit boards and screaming "I"
If this is a test then we've failed it.
What was it again we were trying to be?
(we're still alive)
Do we have to pick a side? Who knows.
Why was it again we were told to compete?
(at least we tried)
Who's your god? Does he win wars for you? Who forgot to wake him up? What other Forces knew of this descent away from the Mother? Karma's traded children made slaves to the Other.
Every day the pressure grows and minds move in droves. The birth and the balance, the highs and the lows. In between, it's only space seen as moving through time, and memories are made and believed then defined as the real thing,
Instead of what they are.
Isn't it amusing,
how no one knows what we are?
Or what to do
We've still got time (don't we?)
At least we tried.
Just close your eyes,
We'll sleep tonight.
