lyrics

I used to look for consistency
I used to trust what I could see
but concepts can't contain the world as it unfurls, as it comes to be
the more I try to put it in a box, the more I am locked, stuck in my beliefs.

I used to see in black and white
solid forms moving in the light
I used to try to understand, map out the land, catch it with my pen
I saw structure as my hope, but all of them broke and I was lost again

How can we hope to be better?
How can we learn how to give? When we can tear down all the boundaries? When we can split it all into bits?

Take it apart and then rebuild
realize that all your concepts can be killed
pick through the pieces of your skull, patiently mull, put them into piles
you are free to pick and choose, kick off your shoes, it's going to take a while

How can we hope to be better? How can we learn how to give?
When we can tear down all the boundaries
when we can split it all into bits
everything so easily pulled apart
everything all on its own
take those shards and rebuild your window
make a stained glass of broken beliefs
