The calm



Take a look back at the years ..
 We walked around blind with no fears ..
 Didn't really care what caught our ears ..
 We never knew the meaning of tears .

 No love and no hate..
 No consideration for fate ..
 Everything was a first rate ..
 Walking carefree through each gate .

 Life never stays the same ..
 Everyone gets dragged into its trouplesome game ..
 A meaningless maze with no aim ..
 And tons of others to blame .

 No such thing as total freedom ..
 It only leads to something fearsome ..
 Only exists to keep us from boredom ..
 It's encrypted into the human genome .

 Freedom is just a misconception ..
 Just a mirrors' reflection ..
 We only grasp a fraction ..
 Of its majestic illumination .

 Fully grasping its meaning ..
 Gives you a real calm feeling ..
 It has the only true healing ..
 For every strike life's dealing .
