The shrine is located
in the front room of the house
For some unknown reason
it's been neglected for too long
You claim it's not a problem,
but I take it all so hard
So when is it a problem
if you push it all so far?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere

My soul is defended
by the will to stay alive
For some unknown reason
I can't keep that will for long
It all needs rebuilding
And my hands are scratched and scarred
So when is it a problem
if I take it all so hard?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere
Higher than reason
is no reason
is nowhere
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere

If you lived here in my place,
would you eat off my plate?
Or throw it aside,
and curse your ugly fate?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere
