So It Goes

Why is the silence apropos
Will we proceed through the afterglow
And reverse our names
Are we in danger
Always the same
Yet feeling stranger

 Then out of the corner
A world appeared
And left a dim impression
From which we steer
So it goes
Unravel the poem from the prose

All of the fables spoke of you but
Your application is under review
Can you spare some time
Been meaning to ask you
What's the meaning of life
What should I hold onto

But the apparition dissolved away
Not before I listened and heard him say
So it goes
Unravel the poem from the prose

Manic believers and closet saints
Homeless achievers and pin-up dates
Have one thing in mind
When all this is over
Can't take back the time
Got to be something to this life
