What is not but could be if
|
what could appear in the morning mist
|
with all associated risk
|
what is not but could be if
|
|
What was not but could have been
|
was my obsession way back when
|
now I just remember this
|
what is not but could be if
|
|
what is not but could be if
|
we could be crossing
|
this abridged abyss into beginning
|
|
and failure's got you in its grasp
|
and you're reaching for your very last
|
vicious beginning
|
|
one has lived life carelessly
|
if he or she has failed to see
|
that the truth is not alive or dead
|
the truth is struggling to be said
|
|
so how do we get out of this?
|
family shadows all of this
|
through what is not but could be if
|
with all associated risk
|
|
what is not but could be if
|
we could be crossing
|
this abridged abyss into beginning
|
|
and failure's got you in its grasp
|
and you're reaching for your very last
|
vicious beginning
