isn't it something to not understand
holding my future to sift through your hands
it's long been decided that nothing can change
the trial is over but the jury remain
haunting my home, calling the phone
unrelenting, unpitying and cruel in all that i do
i found the need to want to know again
but i lost the strength to get up and go again
and i need to find the flame to light again
the light to see me through the night again
it's cold and lonesome on the wrong side of asymmetry
outweighted whatever you do
bored and folded in a swan dive to infinity
long and forever and true
there was a time when i was a child
and the serpent, mistaking me for its tail
swallowed me whole
i found the need to want to know again
but i lost the strength to get up and go again
and i need to find the flame to light again
the light to see me through the night again
i don't know what i've done to earn it
and i don't know how i could deserve it
but however i can hold onto it
i will forever live to do it
