Visions

You tell me you're a man of reason
You don't believe in God
You put your faith in scientific odds
You're full of explanations
Short on love
You found a universal formula
But in the quiet of the night
When you turn out the light
Do you lay and wonder if it's right?

Some things your mother told you
The rest you learned in school
Be careful you don't break the golden rule
You don't want to be a failure
So you'll have to play their games
And if you're wrong you never, never take the blame
But in the silence of a dream
When you look at what you've been
Does it ever make you want to scream?
Ah, visions there

Some people laugh about them
While other people cry a lot
And wish they'd go away
Those visions
Haunting you
Turning all your dreams to revelations

Life keeps you so busy
You don't have time for friends
It all comes down to money in the end
But when the grave is covered
The words will read above
"He found a universal formula"
