lyrics

In attempt to avoid dissonance
let’s dissect a natural choice
in an act that should be thoughtless

the outline of your face looks beautiful
in evening’s scarlet sky
with the gaps of light I can choose
how to paint the inside

the universe manifested itself on
beaches in Poland
down her intoxicated eyes
I found the answer to my yearning on
foreign concrete
baking in the sun
I’m untying that knot in the rope
until it’s totally undone

I want to be golden
just like the water and my ideals
drain out the childhood shapings
to keep up with what’s happening

let’s find love with no attachment

I let the insects bite me
all night long
all day long
and pretend that I’m not itching
covered in welts and blood and
losing feeling
in illusion that
somehow this is helping
