lyrics

Can you have a right without a wrong
Or an up without a down
Well I’m squirming with indecision
Down this rabbit hole I have found

Can you have a north without a south
Or light without the dark
Is it just me or am I mistaken?
Am I missing the mark

The poles of perception
Two ends of the field
I’m searching for the fountain
But its cleverly concealed

The poles of perception
Two ends of the field
Perhaps an illusion
I need the truth revealed

Can there be the high without the low
Or the soft without the hard
Can there be a fast without the slow
I’m feeling feathered and tarred

Is it real or artificial
Is it shallow or deep
Is it sublime or surreal
Am I taking a leap
Chorus,
Bridge:
Are there any shades in between? X3

Can you be free without being bound
Is there faith, mixed with doubt
Can you be lost and then be found
These are some things that I think about

Can there be death without life
Can you know the bliss without the black
Can you know plenty, without the strife
Or be high-strung, and laid back
Chorus
