lyrics

lost
in the suburban vastness
what is a walk to school
but a march to war?

who are these people?
what are their names?
what are names for?

what is my purpose?
my diagnosis?
will you wait with me on the shore?

where birds fly
in the distance
along a cloud
appears a shadow without a castor
and the mountainside
the back of a dragon
the rising clouds its billowing smoke

and the old soul
passed along its wisdom
to the naive saints
and the truth came
from underneath our laughter
as the autumn leaves
fell right after

my body will wear a white shroud
in a wooden coffin
weighed down
by stones
beneath the ground

i'd finally become
your disciple
