i'm not going to look for answers
not going to search anymore
for meaning in a random life
like i would before
on a sidewalk down in new orleans
the rain it matters none
just wash the years right off of me
find the child that i once was
who believed and trusted all
and questioned none
i have wandered far from home
from who i am and from what i know
in circumstance or blatant lie
a journey flawed, the human kind
i have stood in rooms forbidden
swam the deadly tide
so many times i lost track of
any god by my side
i just got tired of running
and pretending that i don't
tired of twisting phrases
to make you think i owned
some kind of understanding
or something deeper still
i have wandered far from home
from who i am and from what i know
in circumstance or blatant lie
a journey flawed,
the human kind
the human kind
helpless i'm falling again
from fear i know nothing
as time takes deadly aim
on my soul i must finally stand brave
where are the words that have saved, so i'm told
as this wicked wind threatens to break my hold
speechless and scared, not a word to be had
again naked i stand…
what seems so right in definition
so simply scrawled to the page
facts blurred by romantic memory
but held like a gospels word
i have lived in speculation
unqualified, unsure
armed with metaphor and rhyme
a blind man searching for the cure
you find it then it's lost
quickly found and lost again
i have wandered far from home
from who i am and from what i know
in circumstance or blatant lie
a journey flawed,
the human kind
the human kind
the human kind
the human kind
