Maybe I over think Then I overreact To anyone, or anything I don't understand Seeing the relative Serving the absolutes Where black is white and white is right Of the things we do I don't think I understand or comprehend All the different ways of man Suffer the rationale Caught in a culture war The new, the old, the yet untold, battle-born And I'll become What I become A casualty Nothing less, and nothing more But I'm caught here in the gray Stuck on things that never change And I fear what I've been told Fear what I may never know Am I the modernist? Have I been left behind? The good, the bad, the things we've had Never die They live and breathe And have their being inside of You But is that inside of me? But I'm caught here in the gray Stuck on things that never change And I fear what I've been told Fear what I may never know Release me from this cage I've made The pessimist, the naturalist Hold my chains Come on, release me from this cage I've made Some things you just can't explain away Tell me how Tell me why We tie ourselves under roof And not under sky But I'm caught here in the gray Stuck on things that never change And I fear what I've been told Fear what I may never know
