Faithless

The Bottom Line Here's to the eternal mystery; the Almighty Whatever. Cheers.

Faithlessness became our way that day
when we were searching for the perfect way to come to you.
Were there long, proud smiles on the faces of our fathers
(or do they turn their eyes away from what we do)?

Anyway...
as I say, we were searching for direction
And an answer as to who had called our name.
But the journey's everlasting that will chase for the horizon.
So we made up our own answers,
and believed them just the same.

Faithlessness came my way that day
When I was searching for the energy to come to you.
There's some cold hard weather in these higher elevations
(don't you find that that's sometimes true?)

Anyway...
as I say, I was searching for some courage
when I stumbled on a patch of wayward doubt.
But, I grabbed it by the stalk
and ripped it hard from it's foundation.
'Cause it's the unintended roots
that have no place within this ground.

And off to pray to their god, they were
while I drew down the moon.
And I knew a man who could conjure the Buddha
(but he don't get up until noon)

So off we went to the sandbox
to build our castles there and wait
in the balmed and tepid weather,
with our piety in tether,
to consider altogether
other fates.
