An experimental phase
That you couldn't get away from
Your open minded ways did you in
Your shepherd's broken staff
Should have been your warning
But you were moving way too fast to notice it
This is a tragedy
This is loneliness
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
Do you still believe
You will find a way
To make your life mean something and stay?
Were you afraid that you
Would not have a story?
Were you afraid that you would have no pain?
This is your private war
Where you get all the glory
If you beat the odds to wake and rise again
This is a tragedy
This is loneliness
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
Do you still believe
You will find a way
To make your life mean something and stay?
I'm sure that you know this
Meanwhile, I wish you would say
'On and on I'm holding on to that
Which has betrayed'
This is a tragedy
This is loneliness
Why do you try so hard to climb out of yourself?
Do you still believe
You will find a way
To make your life mean something and stay?

An experimental phase
That you couldn't get away from
Your open minded ways did you in
