lyrics

Misaligned teeth in flatbed press gearboxes
Poorly burnished plate tearing through parchment
Copper burrs embed in wool blanket skies
as the heavens roll us through etched lives
Yet an image is pulled
Its substrate, while damaged, still functions
And still a message is told
Its meaning, while mangled, is purposed
The ink that is left behind delivers us a new and damaged world
As the sentences just carry on for each soul to inherit as a debt

Falling water escaping as paint brush stroke
Passes fleeting through memory and hand
Sky hung floods suspended over mountaintops
Drawing storms in heavens above
From night, a vision bestowed
Its genesis, mental, uncovered
And still a message is held
Its meaning, illusive, now recorded in the pigments left behind
A passage into past internal worlds
The sentences would act as nets for dreams caught half-millennium in fiber

Symbols on paper form concepts of life engraved into being
Illusory process, immovable masses chiseled in time and thought
Columns of water cut into the earth tearing through land
Mountains eroded through dreams metaphor telling uncertainties
Atrophied functions of contact employed a cognitive dewclaw
Disparate pieces of mind interact through chambers unused
Languages gesture toward physical worlds constructing ontologies
Living from imprinted ancient light
A universe sparkborn

New understanding of consciousness through Gutenberg’s apocalypse
Waves felt from actions of lives never known
Durer's dreams of deluge

Columns of water cut into the earth
Symbols on paper inform life
Languages gesture to physical
Abstract becomes an immovable mass
