Free to Be or Not to Be You and Me - Cursive

So I dug deep down

Deep inside myself

To the pitted heart

Of this scabrous shell

Oddly, all I found

Was a nest of cells

On the hunt for some significance

The indifference of the

Chromosome prevailed

So I dug deep back

Through a fractured past

Marriage, work and school

Every dagger twisting branch

Sadly, all my story told

Was an aging man

Just another human organism

Obsessed with -isms

To live is to be in schism

Still, the search goes on

'Cause it must go on

'Cause I won’t be assuaged

By the cooing birds of inconsequence

So yes, I’m pissed

I feel cursed with life

I can’t just exist

When I need to know I’m right

And I’ll never know I’m right

And with this I’ll die

Never given any reason for—

What reason do you need to be alive?

Just merely survive

Or don’t, you are or you aren’t

What I sing right now

Someone’s screamed before

Time to take a bow

Before the stage is taken over

It’s a flash in the pan

All a flash in the pan

Gotta do what you can

On the head of a pin

Gonna sing into the void

And make some noise, noise

Does anybody out there hear this voice?

Just a flash in the pan

Free to be or not to be you and me

Clearly, I am clamoring to be

I know there is no point to this

I keep on crying out for transcendence
