lyrics

[Verse 1]
Argue, but admit might be mistaken in your mind
Struggle somehow serves us - explanation none provide
Believe that this must be if divinity survives
Notion of a fallen soul incompatible find

[Verse 2]
Bang on like a broken record, on and on you go
Argue that this must be perfect - goal misunderstood
Make case for creative thinking objective rethink
Convinced life a sacred role play self divine explored

[Chorus v1]
Answer my question - satisfy me
If I were god say where's my power
How come obliged against my will?

[Verse 3]
Conviction in spite all evidence to contrary
This world, everything within it, must be without fault
Perfect, because God-from emanation divine too
God-like, everyone included, even me and you

[Chorus v2]
Answer my question - satisfy me
If we were god say where's our power
How come obliged against our will?

[Verse 4]
Reverse argue life stage set finale yet to play
Defeat - preparation for victory sweeter taste
Absence - separation causing heart ache fonder grow
Abuse - necessary evil - sinner to forgive

[Instrumental]
