As I Lay Dying – Meaning In Tragedy

I have traveled so far to find so little

Meaning in tragedy or tragedy

In the search for meaning

Dark clouds have lead me here

Confined freedom

Guides us to security

What if everything

I have been taught is a lie

And all of my teachers

Have been wrong this whole time

Compelling us to fight

The battles they would not

They have already won

And we have already lost

If we do not learn from their mistakes

We have already lost

If we do not learn to change
