The Great Puzzle - Jules Shear

Once again I have forgotten my final destination after chasing it down too

many suns

So tonight you and I bring desperation to this highway, and we're not the only

ones

Outside a stillness that could only be summer and we are Mendicino bound

Feeling out of place as the ship that keeps on forward long after it's run

aground

And I'm thinking ahead too much, but what are we then, when we're not thinking

at all

I've got so many loose ends, dragging behind me, mysteries that want to be

solved

Like a maze where you could take a thousand paths, Like all the questions

that it does no good to ask

Some might accept it, some might complain, It's a great puzzle, but you've

gotta like games

Like a candle that's been recently blown out, I can still smell the smoke

>From a chance turned to missed opportunity, my latest enemy of hope

A gambler knows exactly how much you give away with a smile and it's real

But I only gamble on myself these days, I prefer the way it feels

And I'm thinking aloud too much, giving too much up, I can't wait to see the

world as it is

And have a whole perception turn from ruins to exception, with the one tiny

detail I miss

ADD:

You've gotta like games, and working them through

Figuring out why some win and some lose, and where does that leave me and you

I've met coal miners who hate coal, thieves who hate what they stole, and they

think they've figured it out

Rich men who sleep preserved in warmth, who can't be hurt by any storm,

And they think they know what life is about

But it's a maze where you could take a thousand paths It's all the questions

that it does no good to ask

Some might reject it, some go insane

It's a great puzzle, but you've gotta like games, It's a great puzzle, but
