Nobody knew just where they were headed
Or why they left the sea
Nobody knew and nobody noticed
They left so quietly
Nobody knew of their secret conventions
The plotting and planning to no one was mentioned
Someday when all of this washes ashore
We will all have forgotten, we won’t know much more
Mysterious as tides, or dark matter shattered
All over the universe, fragments are scattered
That all the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Could never unpuzzle this puzzling end
But some mysteries are inherently meaningless
Dark and alluring but emptied of truth
Muddling answers for muddling’s sake
It may look complicated but it’s still so prosaic
It isn’t indifference, just too large to hold
Fire falling into suns still end up burning cold
And the moon in its jealousy hardens its heart
Had I always known this from the start
Epiphanies, epiphanies everyday
I keep learning new things but have nothing to say
I’ve nothing to show though I’ve come a long way
Should I cut my losses or keep paying to play
Even as waves came crashing down on their spirits
They paused to admire the waves’ graceful resolve
Was it masochism that drove them to perish
Or was it the hateful thing we know as love
Infinite feelings in mutable vessels
How can there ever be justice in that
Is it any wonder we’re such broken creatures
Is it any surprise we’re so sad
