Dead and Alive

Observation
Growth and rot coexist
At the very same time

It’s a mystery
Heads and tails
Are intrinsically tied

I can tell we’re
Dead and alive
How can we be
Both dead and alive

Unexamined
Truth and lies can arise
From the very same scene

All entangled
Yin and yang
Tightly joined, no space between

Like a boxed cheetah
We are dead and alive
We are order and chaos
Both dead and alive
It’s a crazy thought
That we’re both cold and hot
Our life became
Both dead and alive

Take a look inside to see
Where do we want to be?

Love and loathing
I can never predict
Which way you’ll feel

Good and Evil
All laid bare while
Remaining concealed

Plus and minus
We’re both dead and alive
Like Erwin’s cat we are
Both dead and alive
High and low
Fast and slow
Grown to be both Dead and alive.

(It’s like we’re fire and ice)
Dead and alive…
(How can you be so captivating and infuriating at the same time?)
Dead and alive…
(Schrödinger! Honey, have you seen the cat?)
Dead and alive…
(What’s in this box? Oh, my god…)
Dead and alive…
