lyrics

It's a fine line that you'd like for us to walk all of the time
But the truth is that the insipred never balk at the sight of a
High wide ladder

So can we talk about the gray matter
And not reanalyze the seduction by the black adder
I know it's easy to reduce it to that and the white light
But we're so inbetween

And no-one's as simple as they seem
Nobody fits this monochrome scheme
Nature has never been based on dichotomy
And you can fool yourself but you'll never fool me

All our climbs into these heights
Are joyful, terrifying, and filled with fights
We gain altitude and see your path
Full of loved ones and strangers that make us cry and laugh

So can we please talk about the gray matter
Cause it's more powerful than the venom of the black adder
And far more gracious than that piercing white light
Because it's inbetween

And we are not machines
We don't speak in binary
We are composed of much more complex strings
Xs and Ys and dollar signs aren't the only things that make human beings

Willingly perpetuated
Many lives lived suffocated
It must be annihilated
What is it? Can change belated
Come
Stubbornly perpetuated
Possibilities placated
I would like to annihilate it
No one needs to feel such hatred
From
Mother-father perpetuated
Time-ideas for money traded
Men-and-women doomed and fated
To living lies
Cut ties
Cutting
Free
We
Need
Daily changes
Small at first, do what you can yes
Large for some, others Atlas
Hold the world, shoulders unfurl to
New ways to perceive
A ladder below and beneath
A way to climb from different seeds
Suspended in air
So tenuous and
So rare
