So It Goes

We are born broken temples
Waiting for someone to enter
And to make us magnificent
To take that sense of loneliness
We feel from our childhood
We all want to feel understood by our
Peers and those we love
What is this barrier between us all?

So it goes around again
It seems a broken man can break a man, and
We're burning bridges that we've yet to build
So we go around again
We've learned a broken man will kill his friend
Should we hit the brakes or wait for this to end?

It's a fight from our first day
Things are sad
When they say that life's unfair, guess they mean it
Things are bad
Will the cynicism kill or protect us?
What goodwill can we expect?
What should we give to our neighbor?
How naive can we afford to be?

So it goes around again
It seems a broken man can break a man, and
We're burning bridges that we've yet to build
So we go around again
We've learned a broken man will kill his friend, should
We hit the brakes or wait for this to end?

Is there hope?
Let's believe a prophecy
We can achieve by love and grace
We make our culture, let us shape
A common future, and I swear
The world is beautiful sometimes
And there is so much we don't see
That we affect positively
Not hopeless after all

So we go around again
It seems a broken man can break a man and
We're burning bridges that we've yet to build
So we go around again
We've learned a broken man will kill his friend, should
We hit the brakes or wait for this to end?
And so we go around again
Entropy dictates that we have a coming end and
Up or downward is what we get to pick
So we go around, my friends
When darkness overwhelms just do your best to swim, just
Keep on breathing, you are not beaten yet

And so it goes
Yeah, and so we go
