Confusion

Richard Wright

You know I stand in disbelief
I find strange consolation in your leaving
Life's so supernatural
Cannot survive forever without breathing

You can't live without disguise
And understand your mind
You can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion

The stories that you tell to me
Are fragments of your own imagination
People you pretend to be
Will you behold in fascination

Until you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion
And where do you go from there?
It's your confusion

Alone inside your fantasy
You're afraid to leave your plastic situation
But still you find it hard to see
That this was meant to beyour destination

For you can live without disguise
And understand your mind
For you can look me in the eyes
The only thing you'll find is your confusion
And where do you go from there?
It's your confusion

Until you stop to realize
That life is not for fun
When a thoughtless story dies
And standing there alone in your confusion
Your confusion

Where do you go from there?
Nowhere!
Confusion!
