Here's the difference between you and me

You believe that this is it

I believe there is so much more to see

You see only what you can touch

I'm looking for things I can't feel

I want to travel into the depths of the unknown

You only want to go to places that are real

There is a whole world full of aesthetic visualization

I would love to experience some of that stimulation

But still I am a slave to sensation

That's where we differ in our thought defecation

What's meaningful to you

May mean nothing to me

I said I'm not only interested in things I can touch and see

My questions are unanswerable

Yours are based on verity

I live in a world full of fiction

You can only walk on authenticity

I want to soar high up above

You need to stay grounded on a foundation of precision

I'll float on a cloud of vagueness

While you find attestation to base every decision

I'm interested in what comes after life

You're stuck on the here and now

Finding ways to build up your empire

I'll do it some way, some how

Your domain consists of factors and actualities

I live in a realm of sentiment and emotion

When faith meets reason

It causes quite a commotion

There is no rationale for the things we can't see

That's where the connection gets lost between you and me

I wonder if there could ever be a spark

A flame added to this fire of intellect

Could the ordinary dance with the supernatural?

I think that understanding would turn to neglect

Don't misconstrue me, you are everything but ordinary

And I am no paranormal creature or being

But while I accept not knowing

You practice the art of perceptive seeing

And here I go again

With my unverified assumptions and postulation

Suppositions I can never prove

As if I know all about your mind's gestation

It is what it is

Truth, facts, lies, and deceptions

Thoughts, inquiries, ideas, and conceptions

Faith, love, doubt, and uncertainty

Hopes, dreams, clarity, and obscurity

I wish I had a sword

To slice through the questions like a knife

But if there is one thing we do have in common

It's that we both have no clue of the true meaning of life.
