I know that there's no reason
To keep searching for
Something so elusive
Its disappearance is now intrusive
Seeming to alienate and irritate
All those who searched in vain
For any reason to keep searching
For any reason to hope for
Or any reason to believe in
When extinction seems to be
The inevitable outcome of complacency
So the reason I kept searching for
Is the same reason I used to see
So much hope in the human heart
Before we all agreed to disagree
And I see no reason there
No reason - no reason at all
No reason to walk beyond the cliff edge
And allow yourself to fall
Into the abyss of a downward spiral
Where we never should have stepped
So all-in-all I do believe
For reason itself is the reason
I've written this unreasonable thought
And reason is what has gone extinct
As reason was once important
But now I guess it's not

So I see no reason to keep looking
For reasons that don't exist.
