I Believe in Symmetry |
Some plans were made and rice was thrown |
A house was built, a baby born |
How time can move both fast and slow |
Amazes me |
And so I raise my glass to symmetry |
To the second hand and its accuracy |
To the actual size of everything |
The desert is the sand |
You can’t hold it in your hand |
It won’t bow to your demands |
There’s no difference you can make |
There’s no difference you can make |
And if it seems like an accident |
A collage of senselessness |
You aren’t looking hard enough |
I wasn’t looking hard enough |
At it |
An argument for consciousness |
The instinct of the blind insect |
Who makes love to the flower bed |
And dies in the first freeze |
Oh I want to learn such simple things |
No politics, no history |
Till what I want and what I need |
Can finally be the same |
I just got myself to blame |
Leave everything up to fate |
When there’s choices I could make |
When there’s choices I could make |
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph |
Always so eager to pack my bags |
When I really wanna stay |
When I really wanna stay |
When I wanna stay (x4) |
The arc of time, the stench of sex |
The innocence you can’t protect |
Each quarter note, each marble step |
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef |
Each wanting the next one |
Each wanting the next one to arrive |
Each wanting the next one |
Each wanting the next one to arrive |
An argument for consciousness |
The instinct of the blind insect |
Who never thinks not to accept its fate |
That’s faith, there’s happiness in death |
You give to the next one |
You give to the next on down the line |
You give to the next one |
You give to the next on down the line |
The levity of longing that |
Distills each dream inside my head |
By morning watered down forget |
On silver stars I wish and wish and wish |
From one to the next one |
From one to the next right down the line |
From one to the next one |
From one to the next right down the line |
You give to the next one |
You give to the next on down the line |
You give to the next one |
You give to the next on down the line |
