lyrics

tired are those eyes witness to such sights
of looped recurrence that they no longer even try
to discern meaning in the things they see;
lost in a solipsistic torrent of selfish subjectivity,
found drawn deep inside their lonely minds.

we have to remind of ourselves of the simple things.
this is water. drink it down and fill yourself up
with the want of experience, consciousness, and conviction.
celebrate this thirst we can’t quench for ourselves.

in this discipline, we’ll find each other.

of self until we all become one another.
let’s transcend these bodies.
let’s strive against that incessant pull
to live our lives as selfish animals.

every day’s a fight to remain alive and connected to others,
to spite our belief that the world is aligned
with our perspective of experience lived.
day in and day out, we can wear it down.
it’s not easy, though. it’s not easy, no, but it’s the
difference between being our own gods or animals on a boat.

it’s a refrain that won’t get old,
so long as it can stay afloat
the obsessive bombast
of loquacious babbling in our heads:

this is water. let’s not forget the smell, the touch, the taste.
hold on. this is water. it’s not gone.
hold on. smell, touch, taste.
let’s the not forget the–
