RIDDLE
I had a hell of a time making these memories of mine fit like a fiddle into just another riddle of mine
I had a cross that I bore, I have these memories of war but I no longer find a mind to solve these riddles no more
I had a hell of a mind, they said they’d bet on a dime I was the same, and if I changed, it was unseen to the eye
And how offended was I with every cut of the tie that I could break from it free and nobody’d see it
But I would die before I ever got conned to try to find invisibility in the sky
I find that trying to find a Greater Than I in life is sick and paralyzing in time
But there you go again, though you are better than that, though who am I to tell you why your love is built on a stack
Of flat out lies that masquerade as some divinity fact, though by the time that you get wise there will be no turning back
It doesn’t hurt me like it did when I was young and alone, but only in that I’m accustomed to it now that I’m grown
If anything it carries calm like in the crux of a storm. I hear the laughter in the track where you just want to go home
To where the heart is, and where the beauty and serenity all started
And who can help this? They dangle bait before the wrangled up and helpless
I more than watched them; I was in love with every part and then part of them
But who is helpless? Or are you too caught up in the history to help this?
