lyrics

death is everywhere and so is life
it's split down the middle like a butcher's knife
maybe not middle cause there's way far more
far more of nothin than there was before
or maybe that's mistaken may be the other way
life is the rule brain's got nothin to say

and all these ideas on justice and greed
peace and war and what we think we need
stand as illusion or clumsy best guess
a misunderstanding of a perfect kind of stress
misarticulation throwin words around
grabbin received wisdom heritage propaganda bound

your summer is my winter your sunrise is my sunset
your afternoon my midnight your eastern is my west

2.
denial is common and so is certainty
arrogance speaks a mouth cannot see
maybe not knowing is a fashion state
maybe pretension is a matter of taste
or maybe that's mistaken may be the other way
life is the rule brain's got nothin to say

and when the instrument is tearin it up
doesn't seem like terror has come to sup
doesn't seem like hunger is on anyone
misarticulation throwin words around
grabbin received wisdom heritage propaganda bound

your summer is my winter your sunrise is my sunset
your afternoon my midnight your eastern is my west

3.
market time is social big market has a stench
bleeding at the orifice for such a disconnect
must be some other way to organize
ourselves as citizens of now of paradise
or maybe that's mistaken may be the other way
life is the rule brain's got nothin to say

a poem stands and sings it opens dialogue
a drawing of attention to what many may call god
hovering in the atmosphere tracked by calculus
transparent to the tutelage of one becalming trust
misarticulation throwin words around
grabbin received wisdom heritage propaganda bound

your summer is my winter your sunrise is my sunset
your afternoon my midnight your eastern is my west
