Marlango Automatic Imperfection

I used to think one day i would learn

The truth about life

Treasured everything i saw

Nailed to the wall of certainties

Then life came along

And casually pulled down

My house

Used to think i would understand

Things now i learned there's nothing

To be understood

Then i believed everything i touched

Was a lie impossible to live up to

Pull down brick by brick

The fence around my life

Burnt the flowers 'cos i thought

They were alibis

Now i observe constructions round me

Architecture of sophisticated lives

Warehouses to pile up mistakes

Woodsheds to hide the dreams we give up on
