Helix

Tell me, when the planet was formed

Was it easy to believe there was more

Were we learning to expand and explore

Did we weather the storm?

Or get lost in the dust of disturbance and cloud

Caught in the force of the shadow of doubt

Feel the helix alive, feel it inside

So tell me how to lose the regret

The glass sits more than half empty yet

Salvation in one last cigarette

I might want to forget

Or get lost in the rush of distraction and lust

Take one little step

To the end where you must

Everything depends on a moment of trust

Come and be seen

And you're saved from the dust

So come now and let's settle the debt

It's a wager I don't want to accept

I'll keep looking, maybe this is a test

To get up from the sloth and face what I see

In for the kill that is coming for me

All it feeds on is pleasure

All it values is crass

It's depraved beyond measure

But it's top of the class

Every God is a letdown

All heroes are false

So there ends the lesson

It's a hell of a course
