No Prayer

There's no prayer I could say
No advice I could take
No pill that would make me feel better
There's no fountain to seek
No cup I could drink
I know of nothing that ever grew younger
But the universe, it must go on forever
Just like two mirrors that are facing each other
It's reality upon illusion over and over
Until you can't tell the difference
They both just blend together
And I just put each day in a box
On a calendar, winter to summer
And I'll go walking in that same circle
For as long as I can remember
I just keep hoping that someone
Would make me a better offer
Because I know the end that we see from our balcony
Is barely the beginning
So I'm up on the fence and I'm still not convinced
Can't decide which side looks greener
So I just stay where I am, remain indifferent
What happens, what's happened, it's easier
I'll go ahead and drown myself
In the fluids of another
Yeah, my woman to me
Was as pure and essential as water
And so she looked like me for a while
But she does no longer because she took the shape
Of whatever it was that held her
She killed the fear in my heart
But our love also got murdered
She said, "My child, you can no longer sing of that fever
Because it's selfish and you are not selfish
You must get stronger
So I know when your lover leaves
I guess all you can be is forgiving"
