The shrine is located

in the front room of the house.

For some unknown reason

it’s been neglected for too long.

You claim it’s not a problem,

but I take it all so hard.

So when is it a problem

if you push it all so far?



Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.

Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.



My soul is defended

by the will to stay alive.

For some unknown reason

I can’t keep that will for long.

It all needs rebuilding.

And my hands are scratched and scarred.

So when is it a problem

if I take it all so hard?



Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.

Higher than reason

is no reason

is nowhere.

Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.



If you lived here in my place,

would you eat off my plate?

Or throw it aside,

and curse your ugly fate?



Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.

Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.

Higher than reason

higher than reason

is nowhere.
