Path of Folly

So did you care to speak your mind
Cause I’d be more than obliged
I’ve got a bone worth picking
We’ll take it all in calculated strides
Little by little
Down the path of folly
Fueled by this overwhelming desire
I need to be needed
But I only need it when you’re not being so needy
All my efforts lie
Lost in the line of time
All my efforts lie
Lost in the line of time
It’s the existential paradox of life
That our survival relies on
Our temporary nature of design
And our failure to realize
You’ll never get it but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try
I wanted peace of mind
But progress thrives
On opposition
Caught in the paradox of life
Where living is dying
And I just want to live as if I were dying
Try as you will but you’re never gonna be what you want
Always the insignificant mind of the brink of dissolve
Too little too late, always one step behind
It’s the existential paradox of life
That our survival relies on
Our temporary nature of design
And our failure to realize
So take what you want at the expense of your demise
