Did you know that life had teeth?
Did you think you'd be devoured?
Do you really think you'll see it coming
in that fateful hour?
Have you ever blamed the future for things
that haven't happened yet?
Have you ever tried to get your god
to take a sucker bet?
Have you ever been in a moment
that you knew was very Rare?
Did you share it with excitement and no one
really cared?
Can moments last forever, or are they all doomed
to vanish into thin air?
Has wisdom ever rained upon you
and messed your pretty hair.
Do you often feel confined and forced
to sublimate your needs?
Have you given up your lust
for a down payment on some fools greed?
