Lyrics
Via Genius
I count my life in seconds passed
In meeting minutes, hours surpass
Days of quiet watching felt upper class
Flow through the years, wondering aloud
Needle matches spark my fires
Dissenting voices from steeple spires
Ring out across the woody hills
As brief as men march daffodils
Asking “Why am I here?”
Answering “Why am I anywhere?”
Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud
Psycho dreaming asteroid
Faced with big questions, toss and turn
Unfit to frolic, unconcerned
Asking “Why am I here?”
Answering “Why am I anywhere?”
Orbiting construct of Jung and Freud
Psycho dreaming asteroid
Ruminant pleasures, write them down
Harsh adjective, improper noun
We consider each every day
I’ll change my viewpoint, shift and sway
No pedant pickle, soup, or stew
Sit on the fence, enjoy the view
Needle matches spark my fires
Dissenting voices from steeple spires
Ring out across the woody hills
As brief as men march(?) daffodils
Dead gone, detached from your reality
Pray, thinker, be kindly anyway
In wee hours you peer midst the gathering gloom
My ghostly whisper, “Cogito, ergo sum”
The band has a lot of tour dates scheduled in 2025 and their first show is next February. But until now all the shows announced are only in Europe.
