I wrote this song a while back, and I felt like I could just keep going and going and going with lyrics for it….so here are some more that I could potentially just keep going with!  Maybe I’ll actually do a singing version of these later, or do a multi-layered experiment or something later. Who knows? Not I, that is certain.

How many gears must we grind until they’re dust?
How many people will mistake their love for lust?
How many fears will consume us from our guts?
How much corruption lies beneath the fertile crust?

How many minds will be made before they’re born?
How many pages will be written, and then torn?
How many smiles will betray the inward scorn?
How many roses feel secure with broken thorns?

How many seas must we sail to get across?
How many folks must we know to be the boss?
How many wins will redeem a single loss?
How many trees don’t have northern-growing moss?

How many jobs must we work to satisfy?
How many stars do you see in our eyes?
How many kids are expected to comply?
How many heists will it take to qualify?
