But not affect the cause
It's quite a bit like trying to heal
A gunshot wound with gauze
If you instead attempt to wrest
The pistol from the hand
Then I would not be able to
Equate my life with sand
Flowing through the hourglass
Pushing through the funnel
Turn once more while racing
All your siblings for the tunnel
Slide and let the silicone
Embrace you as you fall
Then bounce and land you let
Your brothers crush you to the wall
I would choose my own religion
And worship my own spirit
But if he ever preached to me
I wouldn't want to hear it
I'd drop him, a forgotten god,
Languishing in shame
And then if I hit stormy seas
I'd have myself to blame
If you can heal the symptoms But not affect the cause It's quite a bit like trying to heal A gunshot wound with gauze If you instead attempt to wrest The pistol from the hand Then I would not be able to Equate my life with sand Flowing through the hourglass Pushing through the funnel Turn once more while racing All your siblings for the tunnel Slide and let the silicone Embrace you as you fall Then bounce and land you let Your brothers crush you to the wall I would choose my own religion And worship my own spirit But if he ever preached to me I wouldn't want to hear it I'd drop him, a forgotten god, Languishing in shame And then if I hit stormy seas I'd have myself to blame Explain Request ×
