Glass Hammer - Schrodinger's Lament lyrics

So there I am, hiking
And I come across this huge
Ugly cockroach right out there
In nature, smack in the middle of the
Trail and I realize that that moment, i had
A decision to make i could choose in fact
I had to choose i could kill
It, I could help it, or I could
Let it be i was it's god
So why should I kill it? Because it's
Ugly and left to be a
Ship with the sins of it's kind?
Why should I help it? Why
Should I care? But here's the thing
What if I leave it
There, and then an another woman
Comes along, sees him
Screams and misses her footing
Twisting her ankle and takes her
An extra hour to get to
Her car, and therefore, she doesn't hit
A guy crossing the street if it
Was on that night because
She had a child who grows up to be the next
Hitler or maybe she's late, winds
Up at a bar, meets
A guy, falls in love and they have a kid
But he has cancer we will
Never know the ramifications
Or at least their actions
Even stopping to consider
The outcome changes the outcome
You wanna know? You
Wanna know if I step on the roach?

I'm just floating down the stream
As the shore drifts slowly by
Drifting slowly in space
Counting stars and passing time
I'm just glad to be alive
When the sun shines on my face
It could all end in a flash
But I wouldn't trade this place
Or time, or any step that led me here
If I had to do it all again
Don't look back, don't shut your eyes
Enjoy the ride right, so I'm talking to this
Girl and she's just going
On about her problems and
Her jerk boyfriend and
There's no money, and life sucks
And blah blah blah
Blah blah blah blah but, I'm thinking, ok
What if you're walking through the parking
Lot at the mall today
And there's some psychopath on the roof
With a gun he's got a rifle, he's got no
Particular agenda, he's just mad
He's pissed off
And he's gonna kill somebody it
Could be anybody, and he picks someone
At random, and it's you
And he points the rifle at your head you
Keep walking and he follows
You, savoring the feeling, waiting
For the moment he's going
To pull the trigger
And then who knows maybe
You walk behind something
Maybe he died of a heart attack
Maybe he flat changed his mind point is
It didn't happen and here you
Are talking to me right now with no clue
Completely oblivious to the fact that you
Were mere moments from death
This kind of thing may be
Going on all the time

I'm just floating down the stream
As the shore drifts slowly by
Drifting slowly in space
Counting stars and passing time
I'm just glad to be alive
When the sun shines on my face
It could all end in a flash
But I wouldn't trade this place
Or time, or any step that led me here
If I had to do it all again
Don't look back, don't shut your eyes
Enjoy the ride
