arriving as mistakes or as wishes
all the same we're tossed like beached fishes
into a world of pain and kisses
trained to measure worth by inches
look at me now I'm the king of my world
up against the wall in the fight of my life
knowing full well what the score will be
friendly souls come and go with the weather
life's a freight train we all ride together
it may lift you like a breeze-born feather
but in the end we're all just bone and leather
the train goes on along infinite rails
history will too one day be ash
all traces gone
the one mistake we make is believing
that questioning the world we're percieving
is folly and would only leave us greiving
in fact it helps prepare us for our leaving
there is no line between here and there
there is no mind on a pedestal
we are all like the rolling sea
