Which Came First
Looking through the fire again
Unresolve these issues but through your skin
You drink a little bit of that Kool-Aid soup
And your bones will sweeten up
If the darkness keeps on winning
Pushing its way into your heart
Then you realize you were empty from the second you were born
What is first? Was it love or idea?
What came first? Was it Eve or was it egg?
What is first? Is it a person? Was it a building?
What is first if we can't think for ourselves
The whole universe
Searching in the center to get a good look at yourself
There is a giant mirror between you and the world
You try and break it with a hammer
But it ceases to exist
You try and smash with a brick
Yet your efforts keep condescending what you thought of itself
What is person? Is it you or me?
What is life? Is it the original mind?
What is madness? Is it cutting a tree?
Do you understand what I am asking?
Can you look at yourself?
Well, can you get a good look at yourself?
Can you look at yourself?
Well, can you get a good look at yourself?
What is life? Is it a harmless goal?
What is moving with a child with a sword?
What is a love? Is it a plan at selling dime bags?
What is being? Is it a made up version of yourself?
What is thoughts? Is it a horse's scalp?
What is action? Is it a path take me from nothing?
What is real? Is there lighting from smoke?
Was it just an expression failure?
What is living? Is it disaster or love?
What is real? Is it that fact that everything moves?
Is this an expression of failure?
Unresolve these issues but through your skin
You drink a little bit of that Kool-Aid soup
And your bones will sweeten up
If the darkness keeps on winning
Pushing its way into your heart
Then you realize you were empty from the second you were born
What is first? Was it love or idea?
What came first? Was it Eve or was it egg?
What is first? Is it a person? Was it a building?
What is first if we can't think for ourselves
The whole universe
Searching in the center to get a good look at yourself
There is a giant mirror between you and the world
You try and break it with a hammer
But it ceases to exist
You try and smash with a brick
Yet your efforts keep condescending what you thought of itself
What is person? Is it you or me?
What is life? Is it the original mind?
What is madness? Is it cutting a tree?
Do you understand what I am asking?
Can you look at yourself?
Well, can you get a good look at yourself?
Can you look at yourself?
Well, can you get a good look at yourself?
What is life? Is it a harmless goal?
What is moving with a child with a sword?
What is a love? Is it a plan at selling dime bags?
What is being? Is it a made up version of yourself?
What is thoughts? Is it a horse's scalp?
What is action? Is it a path take me from nothing?
What is real? Is there lighting from smoke?
Was it just an expression failure?
What is living? Is it disaster or love?
What is real? Is it that fact that everything moves?
Is this an expression of failure?
