from Underneath

..............................................
|
|
I know that compassion is all out of fashion,
|
and anger is all the rage...
|
Grow up and give in to that cynical spin
|
that you see on most every page
|
We all know what's wrong with the system
|
how the people are puppets and fools.
|
If they're not strong, it will trick them,
|
they'll get used up like factory tools:
|
The kids just give up in those schools...
|
|
...yeah, but what is it, really, that's keeping me
|
from living a life that's true?
|
When the worries speak louder than wisdom,
|
it drowns out all the answers I knew,
|
so I'm tossed on the waves on the surface.
|
Still, the mystery's dark and deep,
|
with a much more frightening stillness...
|
underneath
|
|
Hopelessness always comes easy.
|
But "easy" does not make it right.
|
Courage can look past that surface,
|
but fear will still put up a fight.
|
When I get scared and scattered,
|
and I don't know where to begin,
|
why even care; it doesn't matter.
|
Why fight when you know you can't win?
|
It's easier just to give in.
|
