lyrics

What if you became a proselyte
For no-one as much as yourself?
Believing in nothing beyond line of sight
and nothing beyond your good health

It sounds fairly dire, I know,
until one considers the fact
That we can struggle all we want to,
but no part makes up for what the whole's come to lack

Follow a whim,
End up like him -
As long as you can live with it.

Damned whether you do or you don't,
but all the while driven to tell
What it is you can't help but see,
they'll throw you to, to the lions as well

Follow a whim,
End up like him -
As long as you're sure
You can live with yourself now.

Follow a whim,
End up like him -
As long as you're sure
You can live with yourself now.

(but I never asked why, though, I never asked why.)
