about

Kind of a song about nihilism
Check out Bea's beautiful sax solo near the end
The last bit was an improvisation

lyrics

do rely on useless inventions, Gears, cogs and systems get under my skin
I built a tower of parts interlocking that looks like tower that fell to the ground

We are hot iron, malleable flame
Mould us into a blade
We are wet play-dough, we never dry,
dry we’ll crumble and fade

Where do we go? How do we get back home? How do we know? How do we know where’s home?
Was it meant to be, was it meant to be

Where did the one go, mixed up divided added subtracted and multiplied
Is one group of atoms better than another is there some objective that we can decide

We are the ink and you’re the quill
we’ll start with a single word
You finish the sentence, the words dissolve
The page goes by what it’s heard

When I grow my wings, I’ll tear up the sky
Build bridges between the clouds
Fly to the bottom, and carry the world
But to what good would it amount

Can matter be better than other matter
