The Argument |
| (The road to excess leads |
| To the palace of wisdom.) |
| We audit our intake |
| And binge on our guilt |
| A crystallized mind |
| Is a well sharpened blade |
| The tigers of wrath are wiser |
| Than the horses of instruction |
| And yet we harness ignorant beasts |
| A deliberate studied step |
| Is a safe, sure path |
| (The road to excess leads |
| To the palace of wisdom.) |
| But we are cloistered monks |
| Divorced from the world |
| Always speak your mind |
| And watch the base man scuttle |
| And I’ll admit I’m wrong |
| When I see your |
| Proof, cowering wreck |
| No bird soars too high |
| If he soars with his own wings |
| And yet, chemically clipped |
| We struggle |
| No bird soars too high |
| If he soars with his own wings |
| And yet, chemically clipped |
| We struggle on melted wax |
| Everything possible to be believed |
| Is an image of truth |
| And yet we define ourselves |
| In opposition to others |
| A defined self-awareness |
| Is a psyche’s foundation |
| But, carved in sunken relief |
| We leave no impression |
| Argument is to idea |
| As the grindstone to axe |
| And from the standing water |
| I’ll drink my fucking poison |
| No bird soars too high |
| If he soars with his own wings |
| And yet, chemically clipped |
| We struggle |
| No bird soars too high |
| If he soars with his own wings |
| And yet, chemically clipped |
| We struggle on melted wax |
