We praise the broken pictures
And hail the holy scriptures
Inhale the superstitions
Stare into shiny mirrors
No matter what your fear is
Let me guide you by appearance
As the place that we live in
Is bleakly mysterious
A mistful satisfaction
I’m shivering from the tension
All by myself I’m dancing
In futile comprehension
Does that make make you anxious?
Under the microscopic lenses
All we are is a fairly transient
Bunch of aliens, barely sentient
Is this a worthwhile desire
To seek for a world to admire?
Is this what I want
Or is my brain a liar?
So I keep up a smile
And it’s been working wonders
Whether I’m feeling content
Or I’m hiding in dark corners
