Makes Me Wonder
Nathaniel Hackey 1983 (Madrid)
Everything is changing
Like the time of the seasons
What we all thought was known
And grown custom to
Makes me wonder
What will stay the same?
Only the past, the water under the bridge
All the experiences I've been through
What about my name?
Or am I just another number
A place in line
Flesh and blood running to a fight
Embracing a lie...
Makes me wonder
What is truth?
Are we so blinded to ourselves
We can't see our own willingness
To yield, surrender, conform
Walk with our heads held down
Towards a deadly storm
So numb we can't feel the emptiness
Watching our own demise
As we fall down a dark hole of delusion
Makes me wonder
Are we out of time?
Past a point of no return
Flying blind
