The Centre Cannot Hold

You wanna know how it feels to be free

You crave a glimpse of eternity, oh whoa

A prisoner of consensual reality

It's hard to fit in when you feel so strange

Suppressed emotions mark a chemical change, oh whoa

Locked down to your soul

Lovers drown each other

Trying to save their wretched souls

Falling ever further

'Cause the centre cannot hold

Shrinks and gurus sell you spiritual junk

This self-obsession is a rich man's curse, oh whoa

You've got karma to burn

Searching for meaning, but the meaning is lost

You'll try to buy it whatever the cost, oh whoa

Keep on chasing the wind

Lovers drown each other

Trying to save their wretched souls

Falling ever further

'Cause the centre cannot hold

No one knows another

We can see only what they show

Hidden depths might harbour

Sacred monsters

The centre cannot hold

The centre cannot hold

The centre cannot hold

The centre cannot hold

The centre cannot hold
