lyrics

What did you learn from your last journey? What are you learning from this listening experience? What do you know about yourself and the people and places around you? Art has no answers, just ambiguous questions. I love my pain. Do you subscribe to a deity for comfort and order? Do you question the accuracy of the network news? Do you turn away when your mind feeds you doubts and unanswerable questions? Has a government lullaby ever lulled you to sleep? Art has no answers, just ambiguous questions. I love my pain.
