Understand I have no faith But I pray that you won’t find me For honesty, I’m drifting out Floating just above the ground And nothing that I reach for is tied down So off they go
A blur, and in a memory As the landscape succumbs To the curvature of the earth A blur, and in a memory While we pretend That our lives have worth
Understand I have no purpose But I will tell myself anything To prolong my suffering Oh, you know it by another name, I’m sure Just as your role in life will always be secure Well there you go, well there you go
A blur, and in a memory This worthless hope Is holding on my tongue A blur, and in a memory Are words just air Escaping from our lungs
Understand I have no soul The concept is a manmade joke But it’s been told longer than I’ve been alive And now the words come without thought Just patterns, sounds that we were taught So let them fade, like shadows in the night
With each new day I will fade a little more To a blur, and in a memory And soon you won’t remember Who that prayer was for
