lyrics

i know the big bang
she told me nothing
i know how matter only moves itself around

i know the first cells
they lived and didn’t know
split themselves in two, code of their nuclei

i know the roots digging
trees singing out, oh
i know the bite of oxygen to lung

i know the meteor
i know the blood in birds
i know the stirring in the after

i know the phillio
i know it hurts to wonder
so we stop and stutter and don’t talk about it

i know the mangling
i know the snap of the
synapse, i know, i know, i don’t want to know

i know that it doesn’t matter
whether matter really matters
we don’t have to mean anything at all (if we don’t want to)

i know the taste
of my own tongue
maybe that’s all i’ll ever…

(you don’t need to hear this shit.)
