THE MYSTERY
OF LIFE
WHY DO WE FEEL LOVE?
AND WHY’S IT NOT ENOUGH?
IS SOMETHING IN THE WAY?
YOU KNOW, I READ SOMETIMES,
THAT RAT TAILS INTERTWINE
AND THEY DIE FROM
BEING TIED TOGETHER
IS SOMETHING
IN THE WAY OF ANIMALS?
ARE WE FATED TO BE LONELY?
A HISTORY OF LOVE
IS WRITTEN IN THE TOUCH,
FROM A MOTHER TO HER SON
WHEN NOTHING'S IN THE WAY
THE RATS ALL STARVE TO DEATH
IT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF GRIM
AND SIGHTINGS HAVE BEEN FEW,
BUT SPECIMENS CAN BE VIEWED
IN GÖTTINGEN MUSEUM
NOW, WHERE WAS I?
OH, YEAH
SINGING ABOUT LOVE
I'LL TRY TO STICK TO THAT
HOW DO YOU THINK
THE RATS GET STUCK?
THEY’VE SUGGESTED
IT'S THEIR BLOOD
WHICH COAGULATES
IN CLUMPS
BUT THAT JUST FEELS MADE UP
HOW COULD ONE RAT BLEED ENOUGH
TO GET SO STICKY?
ALL THESE QUESTIONS
NEED UNPICKING
AND SOMEWHERE
IN THE OUT THERE
THERE ARE ANSWERS
SO, DO I HAVE THE FOCUS
FOR A CHANCE AT...
GIVE ME STRENGTH
TO LEAD THE WAY
GIVE ME STRENGTH
TO LEAD THE WAY

GIVE ME FOCUS

MY POINT OF VIEW

AS THE LAST THING YOU DID
I GUESS THAT MAKES ME
FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWLESS, YEAH
NOW I'M CHURNING

ON THE WAY TO A CHORUS

Shadow, in your hideaway
A battle for the words to say
Just say the goddamn things you mean;
It’s a love song
It’s a test of character.
When love’s reflected back at you,
You say the goddamn things you need;
It’s a love song
Hold the line, child
It gets easier
Opening wide, child
It gets easier
And now I get love
Like you’d never believe
It’s easy for me, easy for me, baby
And now I give love
Like I never believed
It’s easy for me, easy for me, baby
And now I get love
Like you’d never believe
It’s easy for me, easy for me, baby
And that love is because of you
getting me
to go easy on me, easy on me, baby.

This track really inspired me to live to my fullest potential. I’ve finally become the best version of me through the power of eye contact. Unfortunately, choosing an Ancient omnipresent Multi-being as my role model might have caused unforeseen consequences.
