Knowing

...but time and chance happens to all
Knowing
Is all they get
Is all they have
Is all they need

They do not see the light of day
All wrapped up in their airtight play
They do not taste the bread and wine
They do not feel the breath of time

They know inside there's something wrong
The joyless soul the missing song
The ferret steals the mother's egg
The memory won't go away

They know inside the end is near
They know to love they know to fear
They know their need they know they sense
They know each choice has consequence

They did not choose their womb of hate
They must accept their pithy fate
They have no words no vows to take
But they do have one choice to make

...and time and chance happens to all
Knowing
Is all they get
Is all they have
Is all they need
