Limitless

What is the point of it all?
When will the day be when there's an important call?
Do we make all lifeforms look small or is the universe like an urban sprawl

An' we're in a miniscule hamlet now, at a push something like a shanty town?
If a tree falls in the forest, when nobody's around, does it make a sound?

Has a fish ever drowned? has a cat ever barked?
Can you win a fight with a hammerhead shark?
Is it beneficial if you're up with the larks
Or does your brain work best when it gets dark?

Who what when where why?
Are we all lab rats watched by an all-seeing eye?
Is.it.nearly.time.for.a.messiah.to.arrive or is.all.that business pie in the sky?

I don't know I just live here
Too many questions, people think you're a bit weird
I could be cheered or jeered or smeared
It won't make anything anymore clear
As sure as my time is now
I will accept that it's fine to doubt
I'm looking for answers to why and how
An' yet I know there are things that are way beyond finding out

An' with all that considered
Some might think I'm the type who's not all that ambitious
I would call that ridiculous
When I've got a whole lot of things that I'm busy with
Yeah I know a whole lot of trivia
On the other hand there's a lot of factors with an impact on the big picture to which I'm oblivious
You can't put a lid on what's limitless

How could there be chickens if there weren't any eggs but then who laid the eggs
How do you shed that dread of your inevitable death with that damacles sword still hangin' on a thread?
Why is red red?
An' is my red the same as your red?
What goes on beyond foreheads will people come when I tour next?
Or will we succumb to the vortex?
Was the dodo aggressive?
Was cleopatra, really that photogenic?
Did shakespeare write ever play he put his name to or were some merely Marlowe edits?
Is this it? Is this the zenith?
Will there be a world left for our grand kids to inherit?
Will we develop, will we go interstellar or just simply perish?

I don't know I just live here
Too many questions, people think you're a bit weird
