i no longer plead with
heaven
or go rummaging in books
for answers to the questions
life contains
now i listen
listen
listen to this inner
thing resounding
in the resounding
in the pulsing and the
pounding
of my infant ancient
veins
i no longer seek instruction
from my father and my
mother
i have mastered
all their pleasures and
their pain
no i listen
listen
listen to this inner
thing resounding
in the pulsing and the
pounding
of my infant ancient
veins
the feeling in my bloodflow
is a simple thing y'see
everything and nothing
in the parody is me
i'm the hero
i'm the villain
the beginning and the
end
i'm creator
i'm destroyer
i'm the enemy the friend
i'm an animal
a spirit
flying high and falling
down
i am special
i'm important
i am sacred
i'm a clown
so i stumble through
the chaos
dragging clumsily behind
me
all the eggshells
and the fish scales
and the fur pelts of
my past
while this thing goes
on
inside me at one with
all
the vastness
the fantasies
and fictions
and when all the contradictions
come together
come together
they will fit
the feeling in my bloodflow
is a simple thing y'see
i am it
i am it
we are everything and
nothing
but that's how to play
the game
in these weather beaten
bodies
with these god forsaken
brains
we can listen
listen
listen to the universe
resounding
in the pulsing and the
pounding
of our infant ancient
veins
listen
listen
listen and it all begins
to fit
you are it
your are it |
