All There Is

This song goes out to all the hopeless sinners

With grave allegiances so meaningless and vain



The walking wounded in a pageant of contenders

Who balance on a rail of pain for just a pail of rain



And everything is barely missed - blood relations and bricks

My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson

More than this, once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me

Can that be all there is?



In my rectory of doubt

I kneel to pray like one devout

As time the great, gray dreamless sleep of a useless modern God

Erodes away each storied day as wretched Adams with hell to pay

Contend upon a rail of pain for just a little rain



And everything is dearly missed - blood relations and bricks

My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson

More than this, once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me

Can that be all there is?



There's an endless disposition

And it doesn't mean a god damn thing

There's space for a paper airplane race in the eye of a hurricane



And if pigs could fly, then surely so could I

But this pedestrian knows better than to even try

My divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly



And everything is barely missed - blood relations and bricks

My expression, my confession, add it up, extract a lesson

More than this, once again, like a bullet as a friend tell me

Can that be all there is?
