life is a paradox
i can't explain
every author and poet
will tell you the same
forget what you have
and what you think you know
this life is a dream
that you cannot forgo.
but what do you want?
where is there to go?
there is but one thing
that you cannot expose.
there's nothing outside
you can fathom to know
for this life is a dream
that you cannot forgo.
impossible lies!
incurable groans!
we dig to the sky
and we shatter our bones!
won't you open your eyes?
won't you open your home?
this life is a dream
that you cannot forgo!
we nailed to a tree
our only true love
then we cursed at the sky
for the things that we've done
and when all the world ends
we'll see all that goes
and we'll watch as it dies
as our souls are reposed
