lyrics

The property line was clear
To everyone else but (her)
The kerosine lamp drew near
The people would talk if they (knew)
When Socrates was but a boy
The letter increased two (fold)
The Paraclete tugged, and she pulled
A blasphemous scroll was unrolled

“Can you take me farther from my parent’s house”
The wishing well had held him back for so long
“Will you try to barter with the centurions at the door”
He was further down the road, but so young


Precarious floorboards are shifting below
My feet do not feel the cold of the snow
Hilarious stories evolve as they’re told
All of my friends have jobs


The boundary lines were clear
To everyone else but (him)
The capricorn moon shone down
The people would wake if they (knew)
When Socrates was but a man
The Spirit increased ten (fold)
The particles sang on command
The geometry spoke to his soul

“Can you take us further than our father’s could?”
The meaning seemed so empty, while the emptiness had meaning
“Will you find the master, they are furious at the door”
The voice inside my head was not my own


Precarious floorboards are shifting below
My feet do not feel the cold of the snow
Hilarious stories evolve as they’re told
All of my friends have jobs

And all of their jobs are nothing at all
All of my limbs fall off
And all of my thoughts are nothing at all
And all of my friends get off

On all of the bad luck barely escaped
And all of my hopes are dropped
The kerosine burns perpetually in the Hall
