lyrics

More of the Obvious Less

Now, before we walk through
plate glass windows or choose
to swim in barbed wire seas
full of message in a bottle molotov cocktails
served shaken like epileptic sailors
upon catatonic cruiseships,

Let us all take a moment to
contemplate the fragility
of the landscape
ego eggshells and the growing crevice
between corrupt consciousness
and the evolution of the caterpillar
from larve to corporate whore.

And I say

Amen.

Now, most of us never spend a day of our lives
searching for anything more than our car keys or telephones,

Like a television series stretched from one season to seven
the plot is sometimes lost amongst us all.

Taught with ideas that are bred to misrepresent, is it any wonder that the kid standing before the class is just target practice for rest.

Sickness, this city, this suburb, these small towns sliding into the sewers
as the rivers roll and the mud flows and the gutters collect
insurance checks that will never be cashed.

For this is more of the obvious less,
the lesson most left off the agenda last,

And I say
I say
I say

Amen.

about

The Irrational Library Haarlem, Netherlands

“A halo on a razor edge, a remix of parallel times, the ludicrous sincerity of rhythm keeping the paces of joy and pain in synch. The Irrational Library’s is that score that settles the score for the under-scored.”
