lyrics

There’s so much we don’t know,
both above and below.
All without, all within;
So don’t believe in anything!

There’s not so much we really need
Water, food and air to breathe,
shelter if it gets too cold
The rest is all shit we’re sold.
For you were the greatest gift
your heart, your hand, your love, your kiss,
but sooner or later, baby, someday
we both have to walk away.

I’m not mad,
Just a nomad.

Take a little time with your mind,
teach it to stay steady and kind.
As you shine a harder light
and dig far deeper inside.

For our psyche, it ain’t soft or sweet
these woods are wild, they're dark and deep.
We have to fight, and it’s for keeps
We've lost far better men than me.
All the drama, all the grief
of our afflicted society.
We will never find relief
by any measure of an empty mentality.

I’m not mad,
Just a nomad.

There are no rewards
for waking up, a dream within a dream.
There are no rewards,
just new uncertainties

It’s one hell of a mess.
Scream yourself raw in your distress.
This crazy world, this pale blue dot;
we’re here together, and it’s all we’ve got.
