lyrics

The brittle blueness of the sky
Outlined by the black of the windowpanes
He clicks the title of the page
The seething din that plays inside this glass cage
(Explaining )

It’s his ego
No silence
Still hungers

Qualifications lent to qualms
Yeah, I’ve met a few before like that
Invectives masquerade as psalms
We could always have a little chat
('Course we go way back)

It’s this ego
Not silent
And hungers

(Issue rejoinder
Outline the purpose
That masks the fear that this is pointless
A tide that numbs
Yet pushes paces
The screams that distort all our faces)

And bend us all down
And now our country is the ground
The sky was lost who knows when

And we don’t get far
Caught like beetles in a jar
We see through the glass
But we’d never guess that we were trapped

One great hand drawn
From purple dawn
Press down broad-palmed
Expunge the response from
All our lungs
Bite off our tongues
And it all goes numb
And it all succumbs

To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego

To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego

To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego

To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
