Lyrics
Find another songmisunderstood and disillusioned
i go on describing this place
and the way it feels to live and die
the natural world and whatever else it's called
i drive in and out of town
seeing no edge, breathing sky
and it's hard to describe
without seeming absurd
i know no there's no other world
mountains and websites
dark smoke fills the air
some from the fire in my house
some from me driving around
i could see the lights of town
through the trees on the ridge
on my way home in the dark
i meant all my songs not as a picture of the woods
but just to remind myself
that i briefly live
the gleaming stone of the moon in the sky at noon
there is no other world
and there has never been
i still walk living sleeping
life in the real world of clouds
clawing for meaning
still when i see branches in the wind
the tumultuous place where i live
calls out, revealing
can you see the river in the branches
and know that it means you will die
and that peace is returning?
can you find a wildness in your body
and walk through the store after work
holding it high?
i've held aloft some delusions
from now on i will be perfectly clear
there's no part of the world more meaningful
and raw impermanence echoes in the sky
there is neither knowing
a constant sound in your ears
end and beginning
a pile of brush
the fog on the hill
standing in the parking lot, squinting
