All I know
Is that I know
Nothing at all
Fountains of truth
Rivers of reality
Churning at the foot
Of this massive waterfall
Oh why, oh why
Do these birds cry
There song, so divine
Yet almost nothing at all
All I know
Is I am the fool
Who thought he knew it all
But in harshest of truths
I really know
Nothing at all
Not a damn thing
Its a buzz in my head
Eternal bells and rings
Sinking rocks drifting
To the bottom of the blackest
Beasts and beauties
Show me what I missed
What ceased to simply exist
I know nothing
And it mocks me now
Like look mere mortal man
Stupid and arrogant
Your world is twisted and turned
Your restfull nights, no more
Because now I am exhausted
No sleep, no slumber
No more pleasant dreams
I know nothing at all
I am simply overwhelmed
With my own ignorance
As it burns me deeply
As it bakes me to my core
Until my beliefs are no more

Too many have I lost
Throughout the months
Friends have fallen
Like dominos on the table
Too many have gone astray
Through indecision and hate
And putrid thoughts
What happened, was it me
Or was it them
Or was it the both of us
Clashing against set ways
And set ideals
That were threatened through
The journey that beckoned
I can't really say
But I was lost in my sweater
Four blocks from my house
Moving with the trees
As they swayed
And it came to me
Something is wrong here
Staring death in the face
Twice escaped a horrible fate
Almost dead and gone
I am here now with my mind
Shattered into many pieces
And what gave me peace
Now burns my very soul
Too many have I lost
Not to fight back
And remind us all
That things that tore
At us from the start
Only make us stronger
At the end of the torrential
Tunnels of heaven and hell
And never forget, that it is there
The bond that held us together
And the love that never wanes
