lyrics

BRASS TACKS.
we stare at bloodstained spears hanging on the walls
and the captions explaining their significance.
life transformed from steady hands in treacherous times
to waxing philosophical on the progress of mankind.
education aids evolution but also illuminates
the vacancy of ideals ideals unachieved.
with no clear predator hunting us without
we prey on deficiencies within.
instincts wither while we mourn the world that cannot be
(why can't it be?) no we cannot understand the meaning of life!
instincts wither while we mourn the world that cannot be
(no!) no we cannot understand the meaning of life!
and the assertions made (wishing)
to encapsulate it hollow (quickly)
under examination. (yet we)
yearn for a depth of understanding
that will give respite to our weary presence.
the value of relics rendered disputable
we seek to inhabit peace.
with a vow of silence on what is and what is not...
(our purpose!)
i claim a vital simplicity: to seek joy while breathing
(to seek joy while breathing)
i claim this vital simplicity.
