If life were a cool calculation where all of the numbers compute
Then one could sum all of creation and reduce it all down to the root
But my mind is a multiplication of chance and illusion and doubt
I'm confused and impatient, a fool at foundation
I never will figure it out

Am I just a mutation with a curious urge?
An endless vexation, a mistake that recurs?
A singular statistic, a product of the dice?
Checking the arithmetic, it's not quite right

I questioned a mathematician: my life is uncertain and strange
Tell me what of the human condition 
Can the priesthood of science explain?
She said life is a state of transition, a pattern of chaos and change
Of loss and division and love insufficient to answer the problem of pain

Am I just a tangle of jumping nerves
Or a point on a line describing a curve?
I'm baffled beyond logic and searching for insight
Checking the arithmetic and it's not quite right

if I only know what I am feeling
And can't prove the world outside
Then standing or kneeling
Or staring at the ceiling
You've gotta have faith as your guide
The world of sensation 
Is a puzzling equation
A persistent hallucination
So you've gotta have faith as your eye

Am I just an ache in a painful world
Dreaming awake in a reciprocal blur
Flickering in physics' cinema of sight?
Checking the arithmetic, it's not quite right
