lyrics

woke up so hung over to the point where thinking hurt,
took that extreme to remind me that thinking doesn't work.
the clarity embarrassed me- sensation without words-
omnipresent, blemished by our human knowledge curse.

god, how I'd short-circuited from pushing life away,
a series of rejections and self-imposed delays,

rejection of subcultural social games,
rejection of lovers that I couldn't relate to,
rejection of college credits as a trade-in,
rejection of earning suburban malaise,
rejection of religious or spiritual saviors,
rejection of advertisers' influence,
rejection of changing the system from within,
rejection of smashing the state without a plan,
rejection of music as an agent for change,
rejection of intellectual posturing,
rejection of bohemian hedonism,
rejection of seeking trust in a real connection
rejection of meaning outside or of my own,
rejection of any true home or comfort zone.

left adrift, reached a still point without want.
the emptiness left openings that sprung back up into thought.
the thoughts bubbled into barriers that trapped me in illusion-
so I break free to start the cycle over again:

freed by sensation without words,
bound by our human knowledge curse.

bound by our human knowledge curse,
freed by sensation without words.
