You've caught me in a strange mood, with some energy, but no food, and I've got all these things I want to share Please just try to hear me. I'm skeptical, but dearly long for the strength of her faith like it's air She once told me that my path is guided by mishaps that I commit every time I want to sleep "When you're craving some shut eye but settle for some cheap wine God laughs as his tricks make you weep" That's what she told me and no philosophy holds me like her words which shouldn't ring that true How can she know that God's a grinning Cheshire cat, with endless wisdom that's never really on cue? I'm standing on the brink of finding the link where my mind and my body should meet, And I inch ever closer to the answer that I know will not put any part of me at ease. With his endless arrows Cupid amuses his narrow mind, He's having his fun shooting blind. Every bad romance just gives him one more chance to laugh when he forgets he can fly Lost in her freedom she knows she doesn't need him she just tells herself "we're both being used" And that is enough to repeat all the stuff that got her feeling empty, misplaced, and confused So I have fun in my way with this old tragic play that we convince ourselves has gotta be real... Hiding from emptiness I look to be tempted with anything that has a nice feel.. My thoughts gather in whirlpools in a sea of these new rules and I wonder If I'll ever catch up. Yet they flow ever quicker when there's a reason to snicker and I cannot deny they're quite possibly corrupt. And I know I'm just another one Trying to have some fun Thinking that my smoke belongs in the air But I could easily forget this and then there'd be no witness to what seemed like the Truth on a tear...

Blowing Smoke, Trying to Clear the Air
