Note: Including this in the name of inclusiveness. I’ve been working for the past few days on musical efforts for the band, and needed something to fit a particular piece of music. I don’t really write lyrics, but can’t deny that this has a more “lyrical” quality to it than a lot of my other work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can’t see the sane without seeing the mad
Can’t think about one and not the other
A blink is darkness embedded in light
When a baby never cries we get worried and sad
Can’t see the ugly without seeing the lovely
You’ve got to have one if you have the other
A flower disappears when it turns into fruit
When a baby never cries we know something is wrong
Sometimes it feels like
it’s hard to keep going
Like putting out effort
is the province of fools
But if nothing’s worth doing
what are we doing here
Might as well hang it up
Might as well move along
Can’t see a saint without knowing they’ve sinned
Can’t hear shouts without listening for whispers
A storm clears the air as it tears up the town
A baby gone silent gets us pacing the floor
Sometimes it feels like
it’s hard to keep going
Like putting out effort
is the province of fools
But if nothing’s worth doing
what are we doing here
Might as well hang it up
Might as well move along
We keep moving through all the confusion
Keep moving through all of the crazy
Keep moving through all of the bullshit
Keep moving till we drop in our tracks

“a blink is darkness embedded in light.” this simply astounds me….your mind must be a seething geyser of creative ideas ……
And “yes” to accepting what is..while persevering in the struggle to free more light.
