lyrics

I split the deck and it’s the first card I drew
But still there’s no direction an the question is what to do

I could be anything
I could do anything

So many faces
So many masks 
In this masquerade 

The fool laughed as he stepped into the sun
The fool had no fear and nowhere to go

Sometimes you just can’t win no matter what you do

And when you get everything you want is what you thought it would be.

The fool laughed knowing what he must do

Take a chance 
take the risk to dance

the spirit of the Ether
As free as the air you breathe 
As free as the breeze
Without any care 
In this world
Without a care 
In this life

And don’t know why I should carry on
The way I carry on
But I have no choice
My hands are tied 
To the wheel of the world

But I never wanted to take these steps without you
I never wanted to face this change without you
I never wanted to take this dare without you
I never wanted to be here without you
Like the joker of the 52 without you
What good is this hand without you
I can’t believe there’s a me without you

I’ve got my health my peace of mind what more could I want
Still he did not know who he was within

It all came so easy to you , you don’t even have to try
Letting life unfold is all you’ll ever need to do
Just waiting for the wind to blow the right thing around again
Like flipping pages in a book of open ends

Choose not the life of limitations 

Its the world you loved
Its going to be a close call

Ten good reasons to continue 
All the positives you wrote down for me
But can they really out weigh the negative 
I know you said you might not be around for it
Its bigger than I ever knew
