Less Than You Think

your mind’s a machine
it’s deadly and dull
it’s never been still and its will has never been free
lightly tapping
a high-pitched drum

and as your spine starts to shine
you shiver at your soul
a fist so clear and climbing
punches a hole in the sky
so you can see for yourself
if you don’t believe me

there’s so much less to this than you think

it’s almost gone
the night is dissolving
in a cup god lifts to toast the lightning
lightly tapping
high pitched and it hums

your spine starts to shine
and you shiver at your soul
a fist so clear and climbing
punches a hole in the sky
so you can see for yourself
if you don’t believe me
there’s so much less to this than you think
