lyrics

to mix joy with life
that's the ambrosia
the sweet rind of lust
that Eve was eating
but there was one
and there was only one
so now our days are filled with dreaming

of an orchard
and of serpentine
enticers of, what we were sowing
if life is long
then it will be tough
so why would you
not want to fill up?

up and then down, no matter how bad it gets you can bet it's gonna be
up and then down, no matter how good it gets you can bet it's gonna be

one hell of a ride
and the finish line isn't in sight
until you've crossed it
take it in stride
find it within yourself to see
that that line is just a concept

the symptom of us
is we need to be
something when Eve
can't count on counting

the symptom of us
is we have to be
something or else
it's just heartbreaking

(bought the gimmick, ate that shit up hook line and bait)
(filled to the gills, couldn't see that they had him)

however you wish to see it
in the end it's all semantics
cuz everything is something after all
and everything ends

perhaps there is a field in which we meet
one separate from the twists and turns that placed us here
and perhaps there's really nothing after all
there never were such things as pain, or joy or triumph

and even if agency is just a myth
and even if it's true that nothing really matters
i believe in what i feel and in my world-view
so much so that it doesn't matter what is after

up and then down, no matter how bad it gets you can bet it's gonna be
up and then down, no matter how good it gets you can bet it's gonna be

to mix joy with life
that's the ambrosia
the only way to be anything
the only things that you owe yourself
are the very things that terrify you

and if you die then that was your life
and if you die then it's on your terms
and there you would lie, and it'd be glorious
yea cuz you died, it's gonna happen

why be satisfied on just getting by
are you a wick in someone's candle?
yea you had no say, but you're here right now
so take a chance, and fucking gamble
