A Quinta Coluna

The more I see
the less I know
about all the things I thought were wrong or right
& carved in stone.
So, don't ask me about
War, Religion, or God
Love, Sex, or Death
because....
Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
but I don't even know what's going on in myself.

You've gotta work out your own salvation
with no explanation to this Earth we fall.
On hands & knees we crawl
and we look up to the stars
and we reach out & pray
to a deaf, dumb & blind God who never explains.
Everybody knows what's going wrong with the world
but I don't even know what's going on in myself.

Lord, I've been here for so long.
I can feel it coming down on me.
I'm just a slow emotion replay of somebody I used to be.
