So I dug deep down Deep inside myself To the pitted heart Of this scabrous shell Oddly, all I found Was a nest of cells On the hunt for some significance The indifference of the Chromosome prevailed So I dug deep back Through a fractured past Marriage, work, and school Every dagger twisting branch Sadly, all my story told Was an aging man Just another human organism Obsessed with -isms To live is to be in schism Still, the search goes on 'Cause it must go on 'Cause I won't be assuaged By the cooing birds of inconsequence So yes, I'm pissed I feel cursed with life I can't just exist When I need to know I'm right And I'll never know I'm right And with this, I'll die Never given any reason for What reason do you need to be alive? Just merely survive Or don't, you are or you aren't What I sing right now Someone's screamed before Time to take a bow Before the stage is taken over It's a flash in the pan All a flash in the pan Gotta do what you can On the head of a pin Gonna sing into the void And make some noise, noise Does anybody out there hear this voice? Just a flash in the pan Free to be or not to be you and me Clearly, I am clamoring to be I know there is no point to this I keep on crying out for transcendence
