FAUST
(original song

written 2003)

so poignantly he declared
that he’s gonna leave now
the world he found it foolish
and he has no business living foolishly
so
poignantly he declared
that he’s gonna leave me
he says he’s gonna miss me
but he’s slipping into curiosity

[chorus]
and i know that he won’t be completely satisfied
the world’s a terrible ride
to ride when you don’t notice its hue
don’t see the pattern
man has gotten himself into
and i know that he won’t find his way to the pot of gold
learn the secrets of old
but he’s gotta yearn i guess
put his mind at rest
and he says
"It all
just doesn’t
make sense"

he starts asking me questions
before he starts his journey
he asks me of philosophy
and what I think, and what I know
so
he starts asking me questions
digs for every meaning
he says one day he’ll know
all the answers from the journey

[chorus]
but i know that he won’t be completely satisfied
the world’s a terrible ride
to ride when you don’t notice its hue
don’t see the pattern
man has gotten himself into
and i know that he won’t find his way to the pot of gold
learn the secrets of old
but he’s gotta yearn i guess
put his mind at rest
and he says
"It all
just doesn’t
make sense"

[bridge]
when you search for the world
the world is the only thing you’ll see
but if you search for the Truth
the Truth is where you will be
