We play hide and seek with eternity
We learn how to die before we learn to speak
We recite our lines
We mock the divine
But take off the mask and they call it a crime
You, you’re looking everywhere for clues
But who is looking?
You and me
We’re only passing through
So drink in the sky like it’s the last time
It’ll keep you quenched till reincarnation
Get your earthly thrills
Push a boulder up the hill
As long as you laugh when it comes rolling back again
The only way out is through
The only way out is through
Nature’s not a vending machine
To manifest your every need
I met god
She says hello
She loves you more than you can know
You, you’re looking everywhere for clues
But who, who is looking?
