lyrics

Lyrics:

growth and pain
comes with the territory,
so they say.
light and night
provide
and pave the way.


matter scatters
orderly in the matrix.
we figure the cost
of the crave for authentic and simulated.


wet, refreshed fog
drapes the dawn,
hangs from the branches
of an oak's silhouette and
catches the brilliance
of our rising sun
on the day
they march off to war;
though the victory is guaranteed
they still must
shed blood,
that sinks into earth
to create a new oak.

growth and pain
comes with the territory,
so they say.
light and night
provide
and pave the way

2x
the scars, deep folds,
warm furrows inside
shine and wane by way of the eyes.
is your power
blunt or sharp?
making life art.

growth and pain.
