I don’t know what to take seriously It seems it is only how I feel anymore Anymore How I feel anymore
I’ve passed the world by Watching for the smiling grievers Just like me Trapped by choices made long ago
The way a sad man can laugh Is just another miracle of life
Hopping, stone to stone The distance widening each time The place to stand ever smaller As long as my feet are dry I will be held together by these small joys
I think I have been blinded somehow It seems I’ve lost my way My way I’ve lost my way
I don’t have to make myself write something That is where I live now Not in a closet Not in the jungle I don’t have to prove that to you
I wonder about someone who takes life literally With a sword in their hand, dividing life before them I’ve felt the blade, ****** deeply And they told me it was God saving me Still, I continue on
I am subdued not by sadness but by outrage I am subdued not by outrage but by sadness Hopping, stone to stone Carefully placed before me An old man cannot survive without his dignity
I think I’ve not prepared myself for this The greatest challenge of a life My life The greatest challenge of my life
