lyrics

Wooden shoulders held by glue…trace Siddhartha…Buddha blues…feel it in the symmetry that navigates the mind…leave it to the consequence of actions to define…shake it off and find another face to hide behind…fill it up with holes and fill each hole with half an eye…anchors bite the ocean floor…holding out for something more…all the former reappears…starting fires in both ears…smoking makes it difficult to recognize the sky…characters they bend to pen but never come to life…colors keep the letters fixed and stale, words hard to find…when day becomes the dream and what is lived becomes the night.
