lyrics

I may not be able to sing all that well,
but I’ll certainly make joyful noise
What we hear isn’t part of the world,
it’s just an echo inside of our minds
So I’ll sing “La. La. La. I am following my fish.”
And I’ll try to take heed of what your perception is

I’d like to hear what your voice sounds like,
with your bones as my reception
the way it sounds to you inside your mind,
different to everyone else
By the way those hairs vibrate and bend –
sounds different than it does on a cassette

I’ll admit, sometimes I’m a hypocrite,
but I try to do what’s genuine
I’m oft intellectual, though not scholarly,
certainly not elitist
‘Cause “there’s no such thing as a weird human being,
it’s just that some ... require more understanding...”

To your biases of their worldly facades,
knowing nothing of their collective thoughts
If we just undo our abusive vetoes,
we’ll learn that all we are’s pieces of the known
We’ll discover the end to immortality
So we can finally relax,
can finally be
