10th and final track from my album "Something Underwater"

------------------------------

Cement yourself in truth because to lie is diabolical

Having doubt is fine you know Its only biological

What little doubt is there can be quite easily disguisable

What is there to say when the truth is undeniable

If you stood below the roof then you would feel a little smaller

If you pull up all the roots then you would stand a little taller

But I wanna be cartographed

I need to be articifact’d like fossils blackened left in attics

They say churches stand tall

Under their flame

Crucifix hangs on the wall

lightly by chain

Pharaohs in gold masks intact

All with their tombs unopened

Wait for a minute and donkey boy Is sinking through the mesh

The words the film critic spoke

Made a little death seem small

Though his speech felt vaguely misanthropic,

I will recite and will recall

I find myself through metaphysics

And I’d do it again again again

Until my thread

Ends on a gravestone somewhere quietly

In a bed

I was never the type of person

To ask you

Wheres the flame

The burning of everything

Everything that I am

But my name

(Existing in all instances of time and space and

Never once explaining or revealing itself

Given the chance would they let it be

And Would you let it all happen

The answer is doubtful so

Need the fire Need the famine

Need the flood that stripes me of all convention

No image no pronouns no atoms

Would I be drawn up and strung, no.)

Cement yourself in truth because to lie is diabolical

Having doubt is fine you know Its only biological

(You’re so impersonable and You don’t care, you dont even care)

What little doubt is there can be quite easily disguisable

What is there to say when the truth is undeniable

Still I’m like

I didn’t mean it

I didn’t want it

Can we start over again?

Cus' it was all pretend

And putting it out there for you

Still I’m like

I didn’t mean it

And I didn’t feel it

Can we restart it again?

Cus' it was all pretend

Just putting it out there (for you)

It would be easy

believing in something new
