I spend my time on nothing
I am searching for something
Something that could help me understand where genuine worth and value are derived from
But this journey is leaving me as dried out as this land
This search has me circling and feeling as empty as a drum
There are too many axioms to choose from
Leaving me overwhelmed and numb

Maybe I'd be happier if I had a limited access to knowledge
Maybe I'd be happier if I carried along with the masses
Tuned into pop culture and became a bit more faddish

I implore
Why can't their be ONE universal truth?
Their seems to be so many layers of complexity
Regarding a belief system's origins and evolution
I want to commit to a religion but every religion has their ties to paganism and blood
Religion's appeal for me is it's security
Keeping me safe from all depravity.
But just because you belong to a particular faith
doesn't mean you follow strictly what your God says
In the privacy of your own home
Where we reveal to all we keep so near
The crookedness of our heart.

If I were shallow I'd be happy
If I were nescient I'd be carefree
I used to be
I used to be
Until I got curious
And now I've grown furious
With this conundrum I've imposed on myself
The New Agers are too "out there", I think the skeptics should lighten up, The Christians are confused, so are the Muslims and the Jews
Then there's the radicals, and I've had it up to here with them
The conspiracy theorists make me go insane
I just need more time to forage
For the truth
But I think my brain will need a bit more storage...
