I've been tossing around these yin yang thoughts
these black and white coloured juggling balls
One moment they're shot puts, as heavy as lead,
Then they turn light as bubbles and hang over my head
til I let my gaze down and they float up to the clouds
And I'm sad til they fall again

So everything hangs on a perpetual question mark
Assuming the dark is what takes us
Nihilist and philanthropist
could be synonymous
In the cold abyss
Is this what drives those geniuses to commit that stupid sin
In spite of all that's been

And I have crazy trips where I'm held to trial
By an animal court and when the prosecutors called
He states all my wrongdoings but finishes saying
It's all in my head, they've nothing incriminating
There's no weight to the case, I should be on my way
So I escape but I always feel guilty

While in the amazon the trees are creaking
And the fleeting calls of the forest
Are a sure sign that the worlds in sync
As atoms vibrate til their energy's spent
We hold the gaze of the stars but the earth will spin til they're gone and replaced by the day
And this happens again and again

I've walked with robed men marching single file
And they raved about the beaches on which they'll retire
Said this journey is only a passage you take
The destinations all that matters, so its wise to save face
Even if you must repent each waking day
That's a sacrifice you'd better make

I know this kid, all he owns is a single glass marble
And he tells everyone he sees it's the most precious thing in the world
There could be millions of them out there but this one is everything we need
He says within it there's a cosmos suspended in a timeless swirl

And that it's bigger than any planet
it dwarfs v y canis majoris
And it contains the souls of all of us
So will inevitably turn to dust should we ever choose to doubt it
