lyrics

(verse 1)
Hold out your fingers
and count down the answers
that you have received
from innumerable hours of thought
and then
tell me how you can justify thinking when
there's none

(verse 2)
best do your thinking
like foliage, drinking
up every sensation
and pull innovation from pain
and grow up
ever seeking the light of the drifting sun
and be changed

(chorus)
you're not the voice
that's always talking to you
from inside your head
because if you were
you could make it stop
or choose the things it said

no you're the dull
and constant humming
that sits underneath it all
that's shared by everything
that ever breathed
that rooted, walked, or crawled

(verse 1)

(chorus)

so you exist outside what can be said
with useless little words
since finite language crashes useless
against logarithmic curves
and it would better serve
to let the earth
be swallowed by a star
and let the dance of ash gesticulate
at vaguely what you are
