I'm awake
But I'm asleep
I'm lost in awe
So what can you keep

And the longer we leave it
The worse it'll be
And the more that we look
The less we will see

And the further it goes
Where will it stop
And the higher you climb
The deeper the drop

I'm a man
Yet I'm an animal
I hunt and I gather
I write songs and parables

The more we invent
The more we gotta lie
And it won't get any easier
No matter how hard you try

And the more that you love
The more you will grieve
And you're stuck with yourself
And you can never leave

I'm alone
I'm part of the crowd
I speak to myself
And I think out loud

Living in the future
I'm living yesterday
God pulls me towards Him
Then He pushed me away

The more that you get
The more they can take
And they patch us up
But still we must break

No one cares if I die
No one cares if you live
I can't remember anything now
So why can't I forgive

Forgive all the insults
Forget all the slurs
Pay the Devil what's his
And give nature ??? [3:47]
