cynical Lyrics

In the arms of a river not flowing water but beads of life

I am sung like some old story wishing to rise from pages rife

With marks and bruises, a young boy chooses between two gods

One of truth and lasting fortune one of fear for fading odds

I've been cynical too long Thought I'd seen all and I'm wrong

Taking stock of all these years I could've lived without these fears

I've had chips across my shoulder Growing heavier the older I get

Now it's all so clear I could live without it

I'm too cynical I'm too cynical

Life's too magical To be this cynical

Can you tell what I'm thinking Just by looking between my eyes

Favored folks and bright young heroes Those are weirdos just in disguise

Don't wait for answers Come join the dancers who dance like you

I'll see you there Out in the hallways

And as always you'll see me too

I've been cynical too long Thought I'd seen all and I'm wrong

Taking stock of all these years I could've lived without these fears

I've had chips across my shoulder Growing heavier the older I get

Now it's all so clear I could live without it

It's about time I'm too cynical

Life's too magical To be this cynical

Is there any wonder why anyone does any number of wonderful things

Just because I could live with it

Live with it Live with it

Live with it Live with it

Live with it Live with it

It's about time I'm too cynical

I'm too cynical

I'm too cynical
