lyrics

Hope is a glimmer inside an endless tunnel
Balance is the vortex in the center of a funnel
Reason is looking underneath the question
Truth is rarely true

Life is so simple
So simple that I’ll never understand

Everything is complex but nothing is complicated
And in the stillness, everything’s still animated
It can’t be summed up in a single statement
