Explain the war, what goes on in your spare time
You’re aching, creator, larger, divine
Forgiven, you are, deteriorate and sublime
Explain, explain, forget it too much in my mind
Can a path be chosen
Too many there’s no perfect one
What devotion
If only he didn’t touch the sun
Forget it, you quit, it’s your five senses or blank
But just reach, reach in, the unexplained plays a prank
The pain, Tylenol. Makes sense, I think it makes sense
But what’s that new white painted fence
Is an image frozen
When insanity questions God
Miniature explosions
Arabic writhing, tea or cod
If you believe in him, you believe in her, it’s a power all the same
Whether through the wood, a sacred book, a statue, or a flame
Release yourself don’t deny it, it’s safer for your soul
It can exist and it can’t exist
Please, excuse me. I might be smarter, I could be smarter
Phenomenon, mysterious, but explain this one, explain this one
Can you reach me, please preach me
I made the sun, can you help this one
Is this Hell or Heaven
I don’t care just live it well
Eighty-five or seven
Don’t worry if you won’t live to tell
If you believed in him, you believe in her, it’s a power all the same
Whether through the wood, a sacred book, a statue, or a flame
Release yourself don’t deny it, it’s safer for your soul
It can exist and it can’t exist
