about

So much of art is more than meets the eye. It follows reflection equals time distilled in years and moments of venerable epiphany, and quixotic ambition. When I wrote this lyric I was thinking about the world and trying to understand it through the looking glass in reverse. Thus, here I am now having lived the palindrome of my inertia. - Enjoy the chaos and paradox.

lyrics

We are ruled by our hearts...

And our minds make fey attempts

In the transom of the future

We try and exist again



The sounds we've been hearing

Are dampened by fears...

Now we feel by forecasting

That we awake to some commitment


Science to what end?

(Landmines & land wars)

Science to what end?

(Conquering...)

Thoughts of this nation

Ruled by jealous men

Women have stood on higher ground

Only to be cast down...

One shudders to think

Where it all begins

"There she is, again"


Having led brave men astray...

When technology wins the day

Science to what end?

Science to what end?


Presuming we're innocent

Rescue us from oblivion


Thoughts are shapeless

Feelings of a higher form..

They might call religion

Science to what end?


(Interlude)


Two knocks on the door

You stepped outside of the bell curve

The Lorenz Attractor just got weird!
