lyrics

"no matter how long, building in my dreams a ladder, canvas the worm?
how the gas runs, realizing how your own gaze has faltered"
a place in line, this is the ride, waiting for changes to be applied
to simplify the great divide, we're building a monument to compromise
its only virtue is its size

"underneath all that concrete, even your own history,
how the earth has stayed yielding and damp,
despite all the hardness you've poured into it"

"the tenderness of this weathered line,
still I can feel them, limbs from the family tree
clinging, after all these winters"

fade in, iron echo, building skeletons,
shoulder beams and girders
demand yet greater strength
head above chimneys
arching right and
the whole structure shakes with impatience
in the radiance of electric suns

there is a map it's the size of your life
pressing down on your shoulders from morning till night
map size of terrain from night until morning
join skin through sweating, get in mouth from yawning
world is so full, it's as full as an egg
this world is perfect, compressed like a spring
perfect world crushing much pleasure and pain
this world is perfect, it's got everything
