lyrics

A tree fell in a forest - nobody heard a sound
They were indifferent as always
The world rests easy just beneath the warm and
heavy weight of not looking ahead
Of choosing safe and senseless things
I’ll always talk in twos, always think in threes
Who made you protector? Who made you the law?
What good god would let you replace hard-won words
and thoughts? You talk in twos.
This magic comes in little waves
A savage here, dressed to get its way
A machine that’s sentient, a heart that beats
without a head
A mind that always shrinks but multiplies
to the horizon
Who made you protector? Who reduced the law?
What good god would let you take
the light out of our thoughts? You talk in twos.
Who’s the god who let you in here? A promise to
exclude the living. All profiteers are not forgiven.
I was born awake and restless
I will always recognise a lie.
