The Story Of 'Confession Of The Mind'

Street vendors sell love
Trying to get your attention
By barking out a list of famous singers
And naming your favorite songs.

«All you need is love love love»

Their merchandise is crap of course
The real thing's not for sale
All you can get is a replica
You've had those before!
You're not interested.

So what do you do here?
Looking around you see
That one of the stalls is a confessional box
It promises peace of mind exactly what you need now!

That's why you came here.

You enter and kneel down
Now you've got a problem: Whom shall you pray to?
Your God is gone
You've left Him somewhere forgot Him long ago.

The curtain is drawn back
And through the wooden lattice a voice says:
«Welcome back Agnus Dei»
The priest is the clown you've met before
«May the Lord be in your heart»
You start your confession by acknowledging
Your sin with true sorrow.

«I'm heartily sorry for having lost myself»
The clown says: «That's not a sin
However I regret to see you've lost all faith in being found
That is your sin!
And I'm afraid a deadly one
Unfortunately I can't absolve you
I'm only a clown
You must go to the lake
And throw your image into the water».

You can't believe he's serious
Is that all?

«Life is really simple
Why do you insist on making it complicated?»
With this he's closing the curtain.
