lyrics

Submerge & Abide

Fortune spews its blabber in my face
And marks my most elusive of traits:
Whispers 'you're the chosen one' into space,
Then wafts away - without a trace.

Then silence fades into as I acclaim
To fortune's most obtrusive ninja-game,
As in soliloquy I reiterate
'Chosen for what?' - but silence is state.

Scrutinize my alibies...
Submerge... Abide...

Got a solicitation for elucidation,
See, all this hubbub's got me in some situation,
Where a slimy well and a bloody muddy sea
Make the life I bathe a blurred mystery.

Now would you wake at my grave with the stony inscription
Where embellished letters spell the fatal diction
'Here lies the humdrum son, still of fortune oozing,
But due to his refusal hell and heaven refuse him'?

Scrutinize my alibies...
Approximation... Equivocation...

Man is weak but chance is stronger;
Reach out for it - whose arm is longer?
When luck is blind and life is numb,
All breaks down to the rule of thumb.
