The dust is always settling The ending's dependent on perception as anything Everything is trembling There's tremolo on everything Gently Delicate as feathers on a bed of pins Tempt me I'll tentatively step within your temple if you let me Welcome in the spectacle you're beckoning Ready? Keep your spectacles steady on the Petri dish Ah the splendour Of spending mere seconds In the presence of a presence more present than we've ever been And voila! The moments gone before the second tick Another ancient relic left buried in the sediment Another long lost lofty LSD sentiment Too majestic to be compressed in mere sentences Definitions only serve to censor the respect that it commands Only the most intrepid jellyfish Ever get to swim in anything better than tepid piss Only the most sensitive of specimens Ever get to see the sense in living less separatist And they howl and they cry in the night like a theremin For the terrible angels and their heavenly hellishness And for all your intelligence and well-dressed eloquence I've genuinely never seen cherubs look so devilish I've never seen any sense in what you're telling us As science relishes the next best pessimist Priests pedal Armageddon and our day of reckoning I guess we wait for the serpent to shed it's skin Lend a quid to forever, as a gesture to our next of kin Until then If you need me come find me I'll stand beside you as the sky bleeds Confide in me, sing your song I'll weep for you in binary Silently Come close enough to feel it Close enough to speak our secrets Deep in privacy Then lie to me, please Imply some deeper meaning Give some pretence to this sequence Some ideal I can believe in Until I'm deep enough in dream that I won't wake when shaken violently Finally Ignorance is bliss and I'm wide asleep But dreams seem fickle in this scheme of society There's something wrong here You and I can both feel it Tarot readings spread in a bow show a chocked Phoenix A broke helix, un-cracked code in both pieces A homeless man holding a sign that says “hope” Weeping A boat leaving A cloned seedling A crow bleeding A gold throne on a globe depleted with no resource It's no secret the world’s outgrown its old leaders Yet I can't help feeling our defects might go deeper So I thoroughly advise you to deal with your own demons Is it them? Is it us? Some inherent dysfunction Is it fair? Is it just our benevolent comeuppance Who'd a thunk it? It's another classic who dun it We're all flummoxed Fingers pointed, brows furrowed Still coming up with nothing The same discussion through the ages Like are we moving towards something dangerous? And away from the cycles of nature that made us I can't help feeling we're missing something basic Something bigger, something sacred Something... (What was I saying?) The dust is always settling It’s us against them again It's never been more prevalent Impending doom is immanent Emanating, echoing Off the walls of tenements An endless drawl of "Its bad as it's ever been" And "everything was better then" Etc etc Maybe it's all better in remembrance Or maybe we're all edging off the precipice If so, at least we get to see the end of this It goes up down left right Simple designs Drawn by a school full of fools where innocence dies Well groomed for the box that they're thinking inside An army of ants trained to within an inch of their lives We pave the way Concrete and pillars of iron Building a shrine to the mistakes of our primitive minds The queen bees couldn't give a shit for the hive That's why they're willing to sacrifice millions of lives [The queen bees couldn't give a shit for the hive That's why they're willing to sacrifice millions of lives] For a cause that will be gone in the blink of an eye Mamma always told me, these are definitive times I don't like the cut of their jib, all glib with a smile They love the smell of their own shit Fucking pigs in the sty I'm not crying There's just some shit in my eye Trying to seeing the bigger picture while it's whistling by Sipping a chai, living life like I'm bigger than time I've been polite as a smile since chivalry died I've been contrived Too timid to skip to rhythm of life I've been so afraid of love it made me bitter inside But I'm alive Sitting with a grin of a child All Torvill and Dean On the thinnest of ice And I talk in my sleep and I twitch and I writhe Cos I'm torn by a dream where we literally thrive Not the same story repeated until it's riddled with lies And once I was finished with my trip in the sky I knew the first step to making a difference is inside Before you criticize maybe give it a try At the end of the day It's the beginning of the night And the dust is always settling
