And I Wander
The soul it aches,
Cries out for new experience
Come to me, Come to me
If not I will wither
Dry up like a prune
Leave you lifeless
For what are we without souls?
If we lose that eternal fire
We are ashes
We are not reborn
We are not phoenix-like
At least not with dead souls
Who will defibrillate
Who or what
Where is my inspiration
My motivation, my exhilaration
Oh the constant constipation
That our fool flesh is heir to
Where is my meaning
Where is my joy?
It is this passivity
That is the killer
That is why I am still in school
And not in paradise
Help me find paradise.
