lyrics

We're all miracle creations at birth: so no chump who's ever walked this Earth is any more or less related to The Pulse, regardless of any “Good Book's” true or false. You need to look at the shape of things to discern circumstance—Nature's Gestalt is divinity's freestyle dance. I know life's a song we're supposed to recognize, but I still get stalled when choosing notes and throats sometimes; because, really, I don't know any song well enough for Karaoke, not even one of my own. This isn't surprising for those of you who know me, but it's best to let me make it up as I go. I spin and listen now that I'm 33 (just like a record); but, once again, for those of you who know me, you know the need'll scratch Time's long-play in accord. Because I'm out to lunch and I haven't even had breakfast yet—in life, like this song, you'd never expect what happens next... We make sense only in reference to everything that doesn't make any. These hard lessons in Life Science perfected their defiance through misleading nomenclature. Take the word humility: it's really just a regal name for the strong-arm of repression and the opacity of hope. What seems more audacious is thinking hope is see-through clear. But the bitch about letting fate decide is that you have to wait, and the weight of that concentrated breathing is a give-in—it's all a trust lift and fall to know why this rib-caged birth sings.
