As memories reframe
Reshaped by new interpretations
And rational explanations
I hold on to this rope
With prepackaged determination
And hope for genuine relief

Of timorous belief
And recreant without an answer
I follow with an awkward limp
Persistent history
Of turbulence short of disaster
I stumble forever after

In cynical retreat
On sabbatical from true conviction
I fortify the resistance
A faith-repulsing strain
Of reason stifles motivation
Spurs rationalization

Of timorous belief
And recreant without an answer
I follow with an awkward limp
Persistent history
Of turbulence short of disaster
I stumble forever after

This theme sounds like
A broken record
One more spin and
I'll turn it over

This story feels like
A never-ender
Read the first line and
Return to sender

Of timorous belief
And recreant without an answer
I follow with an awkward limp
Persistent history
Of turbulence short of disaster
I stumble forever after
