I Believe In Symmetry
Some plans were made and rice was thrownA house was built, a baby bornHow time can move both fast and slowAmazes me
And so I raise my glass to symmetryTo the second hand and its accuracyTo the actual size of everythingThe desert is the sandYou can't hold it in your handIt won't bow to your demandsThere's no difference you can makeThere's no difference you can makeAnd if it seems like an accidentA collage of senselessnessYou aren't looking hard enoughI wasn't looking hard enough
An argument for consciousnessThe instinct of the blind insectWho makes love to the flower bedAnd dies in the first freezeOh I want to learn such simple thingsNo politics, no historyTill what I want and what I needCan finally be the same
I just got myself to blameLeave everything up to fateWhen there's choices I could makeWhen there's choices I could makeYeah, my heart needs a polygraphAlways so eager to pack my bagsWhen I really wanna stayWhen I really wanna stay
When I wanna stay (x4)
The arc of time, the stench of sexThe innocence you can't protectEach quarter note, each marble stepWalk up and down that lonely treble clefEach wanting the next oneEach wanting the next one to arriveEach wanting the next oneEach wanting the next one to arrive
An argument for consciousnessThe instinct of the blind insectWho never thinks not to accept its fateThat's faith, there's happiness in deathYou give to the next oneYou give to the next on down the lineYou give to the next oneYou get to the next on down the line
The levity of longing thatDistills each dream inside my headBy morning watered down againOn silver stars I wish and wish and wish
Move on to the next oneMove on to the next one down the lineMove on to the next oneMove on to the next one down the line
You get to the next oneYou get to the next on down the lineYou get to the next oneYou get to the next on down the line
