MetamorphosisIt’s another transubstantiation,  I’ve deviated from my current mission.  What the hell is going on?  My old inclinations are gone.   
Casting off the shadows of yesteryear,  Without knowing what to hold dear,  Everything seems so different,  My mind is blurred and errant.   
I’m a doppelganger of my former self,  My old thoughts are put on the shelf.  In the future they’ll again be deliberated,  But never will they be vindicated.   
Looking back it seems clear,  My past values were so mere.  My opinion was immature,  Every spoken wor Metamorphosis

RomanceEverything so black and white,  And wrapped up so tight,  With a neat little bow,  And standards so low.   
Truth is a meal better served in small portions,  Next to the main course: romantic distortion,  Piled high with blatant falsities,  Not to mention ludicrous inanities.   
What you see is only true if it sounds good,  The blatant unreality is easily withstood,  Romantic flair for our infortainment,  Worldviews are just for entertainment.   
Despite objections, you are no Copernican,  You know the importance of you and your kin,  It’s for you that the su Romance

RevelationsSo here we are,  No explanation or instructions,  Just a constant urging on,  Towards various concoctions,  Which we grasp for,  Almost always falling short.   
But it’s nearly inevitable  Those deductions turn inwards,  Where we are met with insanity,  And the complexity  Halts us from going onwards.  And as the confusion grows,  We realize we are lost.   
A glimmer of light,  Shines through the haze,  So we grab a tight hold,  In hopes:  Of escaping the labyrinth,  Of finding clarity,  Of outgrowing this phase.

Scared of NothingBehind my mask, I’m scared of nothing!  I’m scared of nothing!  I’m scared I’m nothing!   
Superficial understandings of our own motives,  Superficial interpretations of others’ actions,  Paint our masks,  Paint their masks.   
Generalized convoluted processes,  Make socialization possible!  Generalizing convoluted processes,  Is how we understand ourselves!   
We conceptualize concrete characterizations,  Made of concrete too hard to break.  But why would we want to break it?  Without our concrete masks we might be nothing!

Henry had a problem. It seemed that no matter what he tried in life, he couldn't achieve anything. The best he could hope for was mediocrity. He had come to terms with this years ago, but now he felt the problem with an acuteness beyond what it ever had been before - beyond even what it had been when he realized, as a young adult, that all his dreams were in vain. The strange thing was that he couldn't think of a single reason why this problem would reemerge now, decades after his dreams had been crushed.

The same reason I would say it's unlikely that Santa Clause exists - no evidence, and there would have to be a whole darn lot of magic for it to be true.

No evidence? The Bible, nature, scientific laws, morality, Ontological Arguments, Cosmological Arguments and Teleological Argument seem all good pieces of evidence to begin with.
