With night comes thoughts into my mind
Philosophically broad and deep
Why do I sit here counting fireflies
When I should be fast asleep?
What if Atlas shrugged
And Prometheus lied?
Enkidu lived
And Gilgamesh died?
Horus instead had been fried?
Anubis a coward who'd always hide?
What if we're all dead inside
And stay that way because of pride?
What is the difference between apples and oranges?
Why are patients so afraid of syringes?
Why must something go up, and then down
Why do the wealthy always seem to frown?
What I'm trying to say
I must protest
Whilst I stutter
And give it my best
That life is all-in-all a test
To live or die beyond our rest
Rest, rest, I wish I could
And if I could, I surely would
Some peace and quiet, I must confess
Would surely give this brain a rest
