Raison D’etre Lyrics[Intro]
No life
That's that
Some strawberry morning
With a lightning crack
[Verse 1]
I stuck it out for a good, long year
And there was one and then the other
And a snub about the weather
But as carnival horns
Cast large upon the wall
I thought maybe they've come to torch me
And extort me for my gall
No offense holds my detention
Maybe there's a reason for it all
[Chorus 1]
A reason of faith
My reason I've said
A reason of will
It's my reason still
Hey, it's my reason still
[Verse 2]
Like a disinterested lover
Who's stayed in bed too long
I've taught all that I could think in here
And drank all that I had wrought
Set upon a bed of nails
My solace, immobility
I lurch outside the crypt
Stuck in another matrimony
I've consecrated every sight
But there's one thing you should see (and I've seen)
[Chorus 2]
A reason of faith
My reason I've said
A reason of will
It's my reason still
Hey, it's my reason still
[Bridge]
An egress
An intention
What good is here, what good is now?
A startled flock
At the suggestion
[Chorus 3]
A test of faith
A ways that I've bled
I've had my fill
It's my reason still
Hey, it's my reason still
[Outro]
I'm done with verbal shrugs
Karmic overextensions
This city's too busy playing cops and robbers
But I know
I know the exit
