Revelations of Genesis
I am sand
I irritate the oyster
In order to make a pearl
Am I getting thru or am I just spitting
Shards of teeth into the wind
Let the erosion process begin
I've been watching your world go
Bam! Explode right in your face
Sometimes eternity feels like it lasts at least that long
And sometimes you're not that lucky
Then one day you realize you're the only one in the race
At least now you know why you're winning
You run from yourself
Breaking off little parts of itself
Until there's little left to give
I've seen the hopes of man wash away
We drop the soap to regenerate
You see your world and think you're
Too good to have caused this mess
Sometimes you ask yourself
Why am I by myself? - Always - A day too soon
But sometimes a day too late
You're only lonely sometimes
You feel it's only a matter of time
There's always something that keeps us together
Like the glue you got from your daddy last time
You're always lonely
Don't you feel it's mostly a matter of pride?
