Treading Paper |
And there implied is that I’m but another body for the birds |
Carrion, absurd and accidental atoms, beating air |
Carrying on, unwitting orphan of an unyielding despair |
But linger on, just for a moment, until we can ascertain… |
If something’s wrong with me or the assumptions of these self-indicted brains |
Because I contend that all of this is more than just a meaningless charade |
That each and every moment is a bottle with a message hid away |
If anything means anything |
There must be something meant for us to be |
A song that we were made to sing |
There must be so much more than we can see |
But all our lives, we’ve been treading paper in the space between the words |
And there implied’s the thought that we are barely more than bodies for the |
birds |
Carrion, they say that we’re just accidental atoms beating air |
Carrying on and on, unwitting orphans of an unyielding despair |
But our hearts tell a different story |
Our hands feel a different pulse |
If anything means anything |
There must be something meant for us to be |
If anything means anything |
There must be something meant for us to be |
A song that we were made to sing |
There must be so much more than we can see |
Something… |
Fathomless, deeper than our pride can dive |
Numinous, higher than our hearts can rise |
Transcendent, further than our thoughts can reach |
Immanent, closer than the air we breathe |
