lyrics

Grunts and flails aborted, drives blocked and frustrated, voices strained and weak -- seek expression

I swear I'll keep it simple this time, like water running down your back
Crossing an endless bridge, endless bridge, leading to the depths of something
Introspective gaze, unseeing eye --
Colors, colors -- harsh lines
Organic-geometric axis of subjective conception, of shape
Hue and value, qualities of visible light --

Drunk in the morning -- 'til you're sick and weak
Groans and mouth sounds, and changing moods
Colors -- colors, and line
Qualities of visible light, to the eye
Snakes rise and mingle from the edge to the top, and curl around
Watercolor ink on paper, on paper

Beats, words, couplets, lines, perspective changes linked with key changes, and modulation
Narrative points of view -- rate and density of syllables
One line in major, another in minor, and right-hand palming styles:
Left and right, open and closed -- and so on

How soon the strange becomes familiar and the old is steadily forgetten
Standing on quicksand we build foundations

Qualities of language in time --

Grunts and flails aborted, drives blocked and frustrated, voices strained and weak -- seek expression
