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
A blur, and in a memory
And in a memory
