He seeks his peace of mind, not paradise He longs for quiet nights of endless skies Yet in the world that he perceives He's trapped between the two extremes of death and life The forest dense, the mountain steep The road is long, the water's deep And what exists outside the self Is merely sham and nothing else He hears the anguished cries of tortured men The moment he is calm then she begins For in the realm of personality We know each other quite impersonally with love and hate Young man condemned by day to dream And then by night he's forced to scream The paradox of compromise He holds his breath and shuts his eyes And in the moments that remain He'll wage a struggle with his pain And when it's time to meet the dawn He'll greet it with awareness on his face The man is caught upon the edge Stubs of fingers clawing 'cross the concreted ledge He feels the pain and knows its cause Endowed to him when he was born His god reveals the mortal wound A life of dreams cannot be true There's nothing left to break his fall His peace assured, his hands withdraw
