We were born against the odds
Side-stepping the "grace" of God
A drop in the big blue sea
Overflowing with love and hate
Two poles: A Pendulum Ache
And I'm dizzied in between
Trailed only by my footprints in the snow
Cool breeze upon my cheek, I sneak a glance at a fig tree
One by one, I watch them fall away
Now the rotting remains litter the ground
All hope and fear and what we know and what's left to be found
The true fear lies in why I keep my quiet
For the victor and the vanquished
All are aligned in the end
The hallowed dollar
Only has worth by our hand
There's not much in this life
That I can see has any meaning
But if all is but impermanence guaranteed
Our pain too shall pass
Now it's not as much the wash breaking the beach
But a bargain-beggar buoy tethered to the tyrant sea
We are turbulent
We're tumultuous reverie
For the victor and the vanquished
All are aligned in the end
The hallowed dollar
Only has worth by our hand
There's not much in this life
That I can see has any meaning
But if all is but impermanence guaranteed
Our pain too shall pass
