lyrics

Where do they go, I asked myself?
As a child I’d watch the sparks ascend?
They circle the flames and then go out.
never to be seen again.
Where do we go?

And where does it end I asked this time?
can hunger itself ever be fed?
If I’m to live off the feast while others die.
Maybe I’d rather live on bread.
I’ll let you know if I ever clear my head.

We both know this winding road.
has brought us to this harrowed spot
we shaped our lives like palindromes,
so looking back is present thought.
it’s a trap, I know, I’m trying to stay caught.

Where sorrow springs no soul can tell.
is pain the mother or the egg?
If humpty dumpty never fell?
Would he be broken all the same?
If i knew, I could tell you who to blame.


What does it mean now to arrive?
The same thing that it means to leave.
I’ll be doing both till I forget time
and in time, I trust, time forgets me.
