Lyrics in progress.


have you ever

Have you ever felt alone
Try not to
I have as well

Have you ever felt afraid
Be courageous
I have not been

Have you felt pain
Be strong for the end
But I am weak

Have you ever felt confused
Clarity is an illusion
That I still chase

Have you ever felt joy untainted by suffering
Have you ever felt love uncorrupted by hate
Have you ever felt content impure with anxiety
Have you always been a whirlwind of conflict
Unable to commit to mountain or valley

Then you are like me
A wave in the dark light
Of the metaphysical and esoteric

Machinations of twisted strands
Diametrically opposed threads
diverging and uniting

Have you realized
That they are all the same
Lift the veil
And escape the cave

The dark night of the soul
Will battle still the brilliant day
But still be at peace
Be at peace
And war

I enjoyed this very much!

Two queries: Did you consider "a whirlwind" in line 16? Also, listen to this slightly revised line 29:

"Will battle still the brilliant day"

What do you think?
