Ship Of Fools

Adrift in the ephemeral senses chained to time
Fighting the tides that break to rise; engulf our lives.
Hoping against all hope the blind will lead the blind
betwixt the absolutes that no one can define.
Even the sun could leave the sky without goodbye.
Want is but nothing more than useless questions why.
Science proves nothing more than qualifying lies.
Reason's the flytrap (with) which logic catches flies.
We're on a ship of fool urging us to capsize
and if our bloated bodies reach the shore and live,
we may yet sail again for drunken treasures.
Never considering the profits we misgive
comprise the weights that break the bough's stout measure.
The more the ship speeds forth, we fail to see the threat.
All of us just want to make it home.
All of us just want to make it home.
All of us just want to make it home.

We the people of this world
only want to burn it down
when short-term gains are found
we close our ears to the sound
of bombs that fly throughout our sky
we cannot see them, we deny
each body that we decimate
improves our miles per gallon rate
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
no charity for their holy ghosts
with many miles still left to go
somewhere, somehow, unknown.
The meek of the earth own it all
but all we have is stolen
the sweat and toil of working man
yet all his wealth beholden
The wheel of fate has many scams
it twists and spins, blesses and damns
the kings on high can play it's game
to pay fair price and offset shame
'Round and 'round and 'round and down
each one of us has worn this crown
and clowned around where evil's grown
somewhere, somehow, unknown.
All the disconnected calls
too busy to receive
amount to nothing less than all
the loneliness that we achieve
Progress seems so logical
to challenge it is comical
if markets ascertain our truth
we'll die inside an old phone booth
Dial and dial and dial again
'round and 'round and 'round, but when
will someone pick up, listen in
somewhere, somehow, unknown.
Forgive them father they don't know
the mistruths they engrained us to
does not the reaper also sow
the lies of weeds we also grew
Testaments of insanities
we harvest callouses and bleed
the bloodmeal of two thousand years
and get promoted cogs and gears
inside your wheel around we go
from bull god plough to scorpio
the more we know the less we show
somewhere, somehow....

Remember when we'd play all day
and in the fresh-cut grass we'd lay
as dandelion seeds flew past our heads?
Monkey bars under the stars
and we got stuffed in trunks of cars
for drive-in movies of The Living Dead!
Candy apples, cherry pies, sauerkraut with house of flies,
freeze-tag, hopscotch band-aids for your knee
Cartoon morning Saturday
dread the boredoms of Sunday
cuz' classes start the Monday of each week
Counting lightning just for fun
piles of fall leaves that we'd run
and jump into; get all up in our hair!
Halloweens with bellyaches
and Christmas presents that we'd hate
and take back to the store, and never wear!

For Your Life (lyrics):
Nobody knows
Where we are going
On this ship - ship of fools
With no sail, or an anchor
Just let me sing
Myself away
Into the dark
Into the dark
Into the...
If you should find
Yourself overboard,
Then you should swim
To the light
For your life
For your life
For your life
For your life.
