Track #6 off of Illusions for the Blind

lyrics

20 years and I’ve seen the world
And watched its ways
And it’s certainly cruel

If I can’t start walking the right way
Then I’m sure it goes to waste

Tell me did you think it would be easy
But you know it’s not

Well I can’t believe that it’s come to this
And I don’t agree that I let it be
While you… are the dam

That blocks the water of existence in your mind
Can you carry this away?

How human can you remain?
Live your life in vein
Pour your soul down the drain
How human can you remain?

And you know I’ve lied to you,
And been untrue
While you keep traversing

Down this same old river of deceit
Will you…ever choose

What it is that you can’t afford to lose
But if you… are confused

Or just refuse, give the devil his due
Can you carry all this weight?

How human can you remain?
Live your life in vein
Pour your soul down the drain
How human can you remain?

And I can’t believe that it’s come to this
We start to grow, where I just don’t know

Just write your lyrics on the paper
And keep your eyes to what surrounds you
