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 .
