lyrics

The sound of sainthood knocking
was so drowned out by your talking
one of many things to do

This concept I’ve been given
that there’s more to life than living
would be nice if it were true

“If this world’s so pure and lovely,”
you ask, standing far above me,
“why the anger, why the rage?”

But my answer goes forgotten
when my head hits pillow cotton
and I step off of her stage

Do you know who you are?
how’d you make it this far?
could you ever be sure
that you knew who you were?

But the presentation cracks
under the stress of proven facts
claims of progress have collapsed

Give me liberty or murder
‘cause you’re just pushing me further
and this rope has long since snapped

Do you know who you are?
how’d you make it this far?
could you ever be sure
that you knew who you were?

A reluctant thought of freedom
from a place just north of Eden
at an inconvenient time

But there’s no more second guessing
‘cause it’s all been such a blessing
and I’m glad that it was mine
