Complex lyrics

But to be so complex

To take being so quickly

In but a drastic instant

And yet to spare suffering

In the struggles of absurdity

The woes of a life's living

Perhaps the shared knowledge

Keeps compassion very near

Though its degrees may vary

Joy can be shared with others

But to grieve, is to be alone

In a world of bustling souls

Engaged in daily trivial toils

That absorb the waters of life

In small unnoted silent sips

That too the scales of humour

And foster a comedy of fools

Roles played well, played long

Simpletons combined, complex
