If you can heal the symptoms |
|
But not affect the cause |
|
It's quite a bit like trying to heal |
|
A gunshot wound with gauze |
|
If you instead attempt to wrest |
|
The pistol from the hand |
|
Then I would not be able to |
|
Equate my life with sand |
|
Flowing through the hourglass |
|
Pushing through the funnel |
|
Turn once more while racing |
|
All your siblings for the tunnel |
|
Slide and let the silicone |
|
Embrace you as you fall |
|
Then bounce and land you let |
|
Your brothers crush you to the wall |
|
I would choose my own religion |
|
And worship my own spirit |
|
But if he ever preached to me |
|
I wouldn't want to hear it |
|
I'd drop him, a forgotten god, |
|
Languishing in shame |
|
And then if I hit stormy seas |
|
I'd have myself to blame |
