Eager hand shot toward the rafters Sunday afternoon
A child's curiosity, you know how it consumes
A question bright and innocent
But blasphemous in nature 
Is swiftly met with ridicule and excessive anger 
The only answer for the child
"For that's how he commands it 
You are only human, you cannot understand it" 
 
First match struck from out that box
Would burn a wicked flame 
Wanting truthful answers
without the knowing pains
I cast aside my empathy
With the Ten Commandments 
To analyze the world I saw
So I could understand it 

Cassiopeia glittered north
Beyond the great divide
And each tiny thing enraging me 
Was small against that sky
If they were small then I was small
I took that thought and banned it 
And shrank the universes size
So I could understand it 

I wrecked every portrait and every sympathetic view 
To cast myself into a dark where I was misconstrued 
And in the end do respect the reason I began it 
To bench myself in my own life
So I could understand it 

Does richness live in greatness or does richness live in heart 
If variance means vulnerable 
I've gotten a false start 
I squandered the most precious thing that I was ever handed 
When I gave up living in the world
So I could understand it
