Wonder What It's Like
Contemplating Darkness: Christopher Cronk's Reflection on Life's Cruelty
Lyrics
I tried to convince
I attempted to persuade
A boy not to kill a moth
A young person not to harm a moth
But he shoots down deer and fox
But he hunts down deer and fox
With his daddy every month
Accompanied by his father every month
So I watched him kill that moth
Thus, I observed him kill the moth
Then I watched him beat a snake
Following that, I witnessed him beating a snake
Then I watched him stab a squirrel
Then I observed him stabbing a squirrel
Then I watched him strangle me
Subsequently, I watched him figuratively harm me
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
To work in the night
Of working during the night
Wake up at 7PM
Waking up at 7 PM
And fall asleep by light
And falling asleep when it's light
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
To feel like nothing's right
Of feeling like everything is wrong
To know that all this time
To understand that all this time
Will go by in the blink of an eye
Will pass quickly
I think I'm doing great
I believe I'm doing well
But I'll never know my fate
But I will never be certain of my destiny
I hate how others have a say
I dislike how others influence
In how I get to play my game
How I get to participate in my own life
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
So he watched me lose control
So he observed me losing control
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
He watched me lose control
He observed me losing control
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
Lose control
Losing control
I wonder what it's like
I am curious about the experience
