Our Bodies Will Displace Like Chaff in the Wind
All along the watches of our lives,
We blow on, and wind chimes catch
The harmonious deluge.
It's been so hard to keep up
With the old and new.
What was sacred today is just so different
Now I know, there's no halfway point
To bridge my pulsing heart beat,
It beats out of step and strays to a decline.
So I wake up, and I keep on
Walking towards a life I cannot lead,
Trying to make my path feel important.
I've messed up, I've lost touch
All I have to lose is giving up,
I just can't quit till I've got nothing left.
I never thought I'd carry this regret.
I've let too many fall into my web.
I'm not proud of it, and the images remain,
The fact of it is, they kill me everyday.
But what's the use of it, I'm only getting worse,
If I can't turn this around and deconstruct myself.
So I wake up, and I keep on
Walking towards a life I cannot lead,
Trying to make my path feel important.
I've messed up, I've lost touch
All I have to lose is giving up,
I just can't quit till I've got nothing left.
A day will come when I am found,
Boundless among the ranks of bounded men.
I'll be free indeed.
When you look back on the life I gave,
There will be signs of a miraculous exchange.
All things must pass away.
