[00:35.64] | |
[00:37.64] | |
[00:39.64] | i am out here studying stones |
[00:42.96] | trying to learn to be less alive |
[00:46.23] | using all of my will |
[00:48.03] | to keep very still |
[00:49.69] | still even on the inside |
[00:52.65] | i’ve cut all of the pertinent wires |
[00:56.01] | so my eyes can’t make that connection |
[00:59.07] | i am holding my breath |
[01:00.84] | i am feigning my death |
[01:02.41] | when i’m looking in your direction |
[01:05.37] | |
[01:06.01] | ’course numb is an old hat |
[01:08.94] | old as my oldest memories |
[01:12.56] | see that one’s my mother |
[01:14.43] | and that one’s my father |
[01:16.04] | and that one in the hat, that’s me |
[01:18.87] | it’s a skill i’d hoped to abandon |
[01:22.19] | when i got out on the open road |
[01:25.42] | but any more pent up emotion |
[01:27.71] | and i think i’m gonna explode |
[01:30.96] | |
[01:59.45] | there’s never been an endeavor so strange |
[02:02.85] | as trying to slow the blood in my veins |
[02:06.55] | to keep my face blank |
[02:07.82] | as a stone that just sank |
[02:09.51] | until not a ripple remains |
[02:12.83] | i am high above the tree line |
[02:16.52] | sitting cross legged on the ground |
[02:20.08] | when all of the forbidden fruit has fallen and rotted |
[02:23.23] | that’s when i’m gonna come down |
[02:26.33] | |
[02:26.79] | ’course numb is an old hat |
[02:29.74] | old as my oldest memories |
[02:33.32] | see that one’s my mother |
[02:35.25] | and that one’s my father |
[02:36.86] | and that one in the hat, that’s me |
