[Verse 1]
We scale the face of reason
To find at least one sign
That could reveal the true dimensions
Of life lest we forget

[Chorus]
And maybe it's easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
Away from harm

[Verse 2]
We lay by cool still waters
And gazed into the sun
And like the moth's great imperfection
Succumbed to her fatal charm

[Chorus]
And maybe it's me who dreams unrequited love
The victim of fools who watch and stand in line
Away from harm

[Verse 3]
In our vain pursuit
Of life for one's own end
Will this crooked path
Ever cease to end?
