Just one belief that I will take to the grave,
That is the belief that my beliefs can change.
Look at the evidence, or you will be the evidence.
Logic is my guiding light.
We wake up to a brand new world.
A new discovery at every turn.
So why can your not change you mind,
As the situation changes over time?
I guess what I’m trying to say,
Is none of us really know anything at all.
So I live within the boundaries I see
As opposed to the ones pushed down my throat by holy men and priests,
But I welcome you to a life of love completely sans deity,
Where the only goals are to explore and to push what we can be.
Because we have a laugh don’t we boys?
YEAH! NO!
I DON’T KNOW!
Hold hands with me
I want you to, please.
Now we’re in love.

Sometimes in the heat of passion the little head tells the big head what to do.
I’ll never do it, I’ll never do it again,
Until she calls me up and she says come on.
Well I’m Jekyll and I am Hyde.
I’m running out of time, so bring me back.
I guess I wanted this ride.
The grass is greener on the other side and I don’t know what I’m doing mind.
Do I not believe in satisfaction or love?
Or am I just unfulfilled and I haven’t found the one?
You only live as many lives as you can fit in to the time, before you die.
So maybe I will die alone,
And that will be the price I pay,
But I don’t think I’ll die alone,
Because I am really cool.

I will not settle for second best yet.
I raise a toast to bettering yourself,
To making changes, to having self worth.
I’m done doing the things are not fun.
I’ll find a way to be with my loves,
And even if I fail I’ll know I’ve tried,
To be a better person be someone I like.
I’m done pretending I like my job,
It pays all right but it fucking sucks.
I’d rather be poor and be something,
Than get paid to be nothing.
I am done with those that have no conscience,
That make no attempt or an effort to better themselves,
Or think that they are owed anything. You make your own luck.
The only thing that should matter is
Are you better than you used to be?
More skilled good willed generous and kind?
Or are you just devoid of passion, with no time for friends,
Or those in need of help?
This is a statement of intent, of elation.
Get away from me. You make no sense to me.
How can you be happy with your life so bleak?
Never trust a man who doesn’t have any passions,
What is he doing behind closed doors?
It might be something really messed up,
Something reprehensible like sitting around waiting for his death.
Maybe I won’t realise all my plans and ideas,
But at least I will have tried and I will have lived.

Your self-deprecation seems counter-intuitive,
There is something wrong with you,
And there is something wrong with me, and everybody.
We exist in a world, where perfect doesn’t,
But people will always try and tell you it does,
Just to keep you struggling.
So lets go be fucked up together,
Embrace our own oddities and our scars.
Lets go get more fucked up together,
Become more weird and easy to remember.
Perfect doesn’t exist,
Unless you think non-existence is.
