Selfish Question

I embrace my desire to
Feel connected
Enough to step aside and weep like a
Widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power,
To witness the beauty, to bathe in the
Fountain
To swing on the spiral
Of our divinity and still be a human

I feel the move across my skin
I’m reaching up and reaching out
I’m reaching for the random or whatever
Will bewilder me

- Maynard James Keenan


From the flame has grown a fire,
Showing us the way as we desire,
Putting every ours suggestion there
In the name of question we all were

In the flame we have forged a weapon,
Which should have been our lesson.
But it hasn’t taught us anything
From our beginning till the end

From our lives full of questions,
How selfish those are we don’t mention,
But still we keep them in our souls,
As if those holes don’t hurt us

As if we don’t need to heal this,
We don’t need the persons we all miss.
Healers ours became so far away,
Too far away to hold it every day

Too big the rock on backs of ours,
Is becoming bigger as the time flows.
This rock has formed a question,
Which has been feeding our tention

Which is why we’re holding deeply,
Selfish question formed in us so quickly.
Thing we were all ashamed of,
Because it has always held us torn

Because none of us cannot imagine,
We are holding all this pain for passion.
Passion we have been so eager for
In the name of which everyone is born

In the mind of each one of us
We hold a question we don’t trust,
But it might actually become the way
For us to finish trip, they say

For us to be the question,
Hold the answer in us on and on
As it becomes too difficult and heavy
To carry… It is our fault

We must become an answer,
To find out what really matters.
We must revive the thoughts in us,
To cope experience without a doubt

We’ve come to find the purpose
Of this question, which is selfish –
What we must do with it is communicate,
This has been written in our fate

We all are selfish questions,
Which are adressed to the world.
We all must communicate the answers
Then we are gonna feel the life
