Unexplained

Creighton Doane


Everything looks darkest just before the dawn 
I was the living dead cut to shreds 
Like clipping on the lawn 
& it's hard to believe you get exactly what you need 
Cause I never got what I always thought 
Were the answers to my pleas 
But now I know if you let it go it will throw you to your knees 

So unexplained 
And serendipity has it's way with me 
Thrust into a state of levity 
Oh I'm amazed by a seminal series of catastrophes 
That some how turn out to be good for me 

All the self-help conclusions left me feeling incomplete 
I couldn't leave the sinking ship, the baggage was too deep 
Then confusion dancing naked became my psychic friend 
So I had asked if I'd make it back 
She said try and try again and I had to laugh 
At the stupid ass praying for the end 

Why do I have to say to you know what you're going thru 
You got away with it again, you could be just like me 
Ooh no interrupt the flow 
You start it all over again searching for the big amen 
Brush up on your motocycle Zen
