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.
