Song | Twelve Fold Chain |
Artist | The Books |
Album | Lost and Safe |
作曲 : Books | |
at last it started in the middle | |
beginning as it all begins, | |
it forsook the source of things. | |
and that which flowed over | |
that which stayed, | |
and made the choice to form a standing wave. | |
it leaned out against the in, | |
unfolding in a place call its own | |
and it gently draped six senses over | |
this house of cards that it built, | |
and opened ground the roots of touch | |
and let them in. | |
incredible sensations | |
it was the insatiable feeling | |
of a feeling of insatiable desire. | |
and all that it could do was hold tight | |
to that that it was not. | |
it told itself it needed names | |
and in so doing it became. | |
this is the birth | |
that everyone is always talking about. | |
the one assumed but not remembered. | |
but death does not forget. | |
the end will remind it to cure it of itself. |
