Lyrics
It appeared you found a new direction
Heading down towards the mines
Where you would pick for gold
In dire perplexion
Disregarding all alternative signs
To a future wrought
By burrowing down you'd resigned
Then sometime came some eccentric stranger
Seemed quite familiar, but yet not quite
Who would harass until you'd ogre the danger
Until finally you'd step out into the light
Those derivatives of naïveté you'd now fight
Your millstone is that of one
Self-carved and with gaiety
But this lusus naturae must now be collapsed Through rumpus mutiny
The rain falls down
(But there's no comfort in the cool)
The wretched heat
(Cannot be dampened by the pool)
You break down, disintegrate, & break down Refined into diminutive shapes
Ordained reality, from this flame no escape
It appears you found a new direction Pointed towards the sky Puissant with refreshed predilection
Black elbows, white lightning in your eyes From the serrated, glassy desert floor
You now rise!
