It is my aim to think like a line of force and move like a wave of light to nowhere in particular. There to here, in equal steps of course. Nature doesn't rush, and all gets done.

I am currently living as my former future self.
Making plans for what I eventually might become.
Overestimating my actual resolve.
Underestimating random chance and circumstance.
Not what I predicted I'd remember it to be.
Not what I remember I predicted it to be.
I am currently living as my former future self.
Making plans for what I eventually might not become.
Not what I remember I predicted it to be.

Send, resend, so we can defend our knowledge of the second verse. Send, resend, a message of our broken ship blown off course.
Carve, carve, cut tunnels deep under the surface. Starve, starve, we shrivel and die - making metal plates gives us purpose.
Send, resend, so we can defend our knowledge of the second verse. Send, resend, a message of our broken ship blown off course.

(lyrics by Rob Wright / John Wright)
I grew days. I grew them long. I grew them short. I wasted them away. Long days - I wasted them away. Count the hours, count the minutes. Look into that hole, can you see what's in it? Long days - I wasted them away. See them stretch out behind me. See them crouch right behind me. See them pass right beside me. See them stretch out before me. Long days - I wasted them away.

Silent giant, creeps along the shore. When I ask him where he goes, he says, "No one knows me anymore".

Descend, descend, so we can defend our knowledge of the universe. Send, resend, a message of our broken ship blown off course.
Carve, carve, cut tunnels deep under the surface. Starve, starve, we shrivel and die - making metal plates gives us purpose.
Descend, descend, so we can defend our knowledge of the second verse. Send, resend, a message of our broken ship blown off course.

Oh.
Inside.
In earth we go.
Or sky.
With equal souls.

INSTRUMENTS recommends:
All-time best Halifax band, hands down. We had fantasies of teaming up to conquer the world together, but alas they imploded before we played a single show with them. Both their albums are fantastic.
