Endless Strive

(альбом: Men I Trust - 2014)

I have encountered in my course
Many open-minded folks
And often, they would friend
The journey, but not its end

Against the scholar disgrace
Too abstract for their taste
They'd rather think body and mind
A whole stoutly combined

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

I noticed their despair
None were truly aware
The sacrifice implied
Mistakenly applied

Reminding me asceticism
A self-refusing idealism
That someone should pursue
An endless strive for truth

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths
