lyrics

Returning in Pieces

Rain, needle rain
Threading liquid veins
Churning syrup earth
Until it breathes again
Stirring up still birth
Until it bleeds again
And the stains are upon us again

Now that the mystery is less mysterious
The curious uncovered the seed
We’re taking our lives less serious
Knowing that knowing is all we’ll ever need

My thesis is this:
Reinvention of a wheel,
Chopped to square,
Drawing arcs in the air
From A to B to C to D
And then back to A.
Suddenly I’m a genius.
Please stop me if you’ve already seen this.

Now that the mystery is less mysterious
The curious uncovered the seed
We’re taking our lives less serious
Knowing that knowing is all we’ll ever need

So why do I
Refuse to leave this?
Do I know I
Am coming back in pieces?
I’m eternally returning in pieces of you.

I feel you coming back to me
I feel like I am coming home

Now that the mystery is less mysterious
The curious have uncovered the seed
We’re taking our lives less serious
Knowing that knowing is all we’ll ever need

So why do I
Refuse to leave this?
Do I know I
Am coming back in pieces?
I’m eternally returning in pieces of you.
