lyrics

What If It’s Not A Circle? - Part 2 (Caprice)

What if I’m lied to most every day?
And all acts of kindness are just a crime
And every good deed I should throw away
My very existence a waste of time

What if my father’s not who he is?
Supposing I’m a prince and not just swine?
Supposing I fell off the parapet?
What if the stars will never align?

If you still love me then why did you go?
You got the power and you let me know
I came upon it all too late
The lies, then the truth that sealed my fate

If you know answers then why don’t you say?
Dismiss my questions make them go away
A pox upon your falling star
Fell from the sky and left me with this scar

If you want to take some time out
You can show me who you are
What this sin is, what this faith is
Underneath all of the stars
If you want to?

What am I supposed to do now with that?
What if I really can’t touch the sky?
The future is ours, it’s an acrobat
What if I’m stuck here after I die?

If you still occupy higher ground
Deliver my faith to the lost and found
The ballad of a dreamless man
Can’t find my way, I don’t know who I am

If you want to play the blame game
Then I don’t know who you are
You can tell me
If you want to?

What if I died before I was born?
What if I still can’t tell wrong from right?
This love’s not a home it’s a buy-to-let
Supposing I wither when left in light?

What keeps my blood in, a tourniquet?
What if my heart stops but I don’t die?
Then how can I rise from the dead again?
What if original sin is a lie?

What if I look round, but cannot see?
What if it’s all been a great big lie?
What if the scriptures are heresy?
What if I kill but I don’t know why?

(Switch the light on, so I think it’s dawn
I’ll push along, push along, play a long song
But the walls draw in and the wind is strong
Don’t open the door, make the shadows long.)

What if I blinked and I lost my way?
Supposing I never saw the sign?
What if it never comes round again?
What if the circle is just a straight line?
