lyrics

I could clear the house, discard what I don’t need.
I’ll always find more, as if clutter can breed.

I could paint the walls, I could tile the floor.
Before the ceiling falls, and nullifies the chore.

I’ll fight entropy, if I really must.
I’ll do what I can, I doubt that it’s enough.

I could take up arms, or try diplomacy.
That won’t stop my foe, from destroying me.

And I could find my faith. If I had faith to find.
I’ll always find doubt, if doubt’s how I’m inclined.

I’ll fight entropy, if I really must.
I’ll do what I can, I doubt that it’s enough.
