Listen

i no longer plead with heaven
or go rummaging in books for answers
to the questions life contains
no i listen listen
listen to this universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of my infant ancient veins
i no longer seek instruction from my father and my mother
i have mastered all their pleasures and their pain
no i listen listen
listen to the universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of my infant ancient veins
the feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see
everything and nothing in the parody is me
i'm the hero
i'm the villain
the beginning
and the end
i'm creator
i'm destroyer
i'm the enemy
the friend
i'm an animal
a spirit flying high and falling down
i am special
i'm important
i am sacred
i'm a clown
so i stumble through the chaos
dragging clumsily behind me
all the eggshells
and the fish scales
and the fur pelts of my past
while this thing goes on inside me
at one with all the vastness
the fantasies and fictions
and when all the contradictions come together come
they will fit
they will fit
the feeling in my bloodflow is a simple thing y'see
i am it
i am it
we are everything and nothing
but that's how to play the game
in these weather beaten bodies
with these god forsaken brains
we can listen listen
listen to the universe resounding
in the pulsing and the pounding
of our infant ancient veins
listen listen
listen and it all begins to fit
you are it, your are it.
