Explain It Away

You tempt me with your crazy fantasies
That go against all I've ever known
I've worked for everything that I have
And I know that nothing in this life is free
There's no grace, only leverage
And love is a chemical
And heaven's a construct
To cope with your inconsequential life
And inevitable death

I know we're bound to this Earth
But I don't know why
And every star collapses in time
But why?
You claim to have no faith
But how many of life's mysteries lie unsolved?
I'm sure that you'll find a way
To explain it away

You plead lack of evidence
Say I have the burden of proof
But isn't existence enough?
Science explains the how and no why
Some phenomena can't be explained
And truth can be hard to see
But I'm not one to leave stones unturned
Then claim to know everything

I know we're bound to this Earth
But I don't know why
And every star collapses in time
But why?
You claim to have no faith
But how many of life's mysteries lie unsolved?
I'm sure that you'll find a way
To explain it away

I know we're bound to this Earth
But I don't know why
And every star collapses in time
But why?
You claim to have no faith
But how many of life's mysteries lie unsolved?
I'm sure that you'll find a way
To explain it away
