lyrics

Fibers

it was a beautiful day
my feet, my hands were carried away with the breeze
when, finally, i glimpsed the fibers underlying everything

is it better to live with our arrogance?
or question expanses or time?

oh, lord of all abstractions: let me never be so blind
as to wallow in my comforts, when all i want
is to step outside

it finally occurred to me that everything's a sign
embodying its meaning only to return to the divine
so is it better to live with our arrogance
or question expanses of time?

then, diving into brevity, i found what constitutes my soul
how something so abstract can patch a metaphysical hole
see there's this beauty in irrationality
the kind that makes you feel alive to compromise what you'd otherwise believe

so let's shape the invisible
dig this essence that we've found
listen to the space between
and slip right into the lonesome sound

The Dirty Heat Austin, Texas

More refreshing than dancing in a sauna, but just as sensual.
