Passenger

He is a river with endless flow 
His source seems eternal under the water 
He found a loophole in creation’s glow 
So steady and measured his pace 
 
Oh what grace 
All in place 
All in place 
 
She is a mountain within a storm 
How beautifully weathered with no effort 
She’s probably had that since she was born 
How much we have reaped from a mind forlorn  
 
While harvesting chaos, the door is ajar 
It starts seeping (Such spontaneity!) 
The beings enter from near and afar 
And they aren’t leaving (Blessed for eternity!) 
Keep feeding the gaping disease 
Where meaning persists (Isn’t it wonderful!) 
You know this journey is all that you need 
We must insist (Aren’t you so colorful!) 
 
Pain’s just a passenger 
In spite of the author 
 
We’ll never lead you to that lake 
To drown suffering and hate 
You need this like fire needs the air 
Tabula rasa, a road you should not dare 
Die in creation’s lair 
 
They are the martyrs, we’ll praise them so 
And borrow their feelings for just a while 
But once they sink in, we’ll let them go 
Oh surely they’ve learned to cope 
 
Forever the deal, it’s forever the plan 
To break every rock and inhale the sand 
Never enjoy the surface, always digging beneath 
You know what you are, when you see… 
 
All the hells and all the bliss revealed 
As a single god 
It won’t help, yet to it you must kneel 
It began its life as a partner 
When it fed you tales of woe and wonder 
It’s depleted all its stores 
Yet somehow it still remains 
 
It still feigns its uses 
Practical abuses 
How mundane this healing 
What are you achieving? 
 
It was a creature that clawed at your back 
Keeping your vision just slightly off-track 
“Oh don’t you worry, you’ll thank me for this 
Praise will rise from the ruins and mist” 
You still need me 
 
It gave you everything when this began 
Stories and questions and worlds to expand 
But it is the origin, is it the start? 
Or just a parasite sewn to your heart? 
Obfuscating 
Forevermore 
 
Drown in the wellspring 
Abandon meaning
