about

"There is no absolute right or wrong."

lyrics

There’s nothing to be done
Now that the die is cast
And sanity, most certainly
Is something in the past

I don’t remember anything
I don’t remember why
I think that once I thought I knew
Before I lost my alibi

I tried to make some sense of it
I tried to hold on fast
But now it’s clear that sanity
Has slipped into the past

I once had common sense
I could depend upon
But now I’ve jumped the fence
I used to sit upon

I wasn’t the first and I won’t be the last
To know that sanity is something in the past

And maybe this is all my own illusion
And maybe this is all my own invention
And maybe this is only dissolution
Of something that was never my intention

Maybe it’s true
That I lost my direction
Or maybe I was lost all along
It’s really just a matter of perspective
There is no absolute right or wrong

I wasn’t the first and I won’t be the last
To know that sanity is something in the past
I wasn’t the first and I won’t be the last
To know that sanity is a thing of the past

A thing of the past...
