lyrics

Nebulous Creations

I'm sitting with two young men
At a picnic table in cold wind
One throws ideas at a white space on his wall
Kept vacant for this purpose
One stuffs a file full of pieces of an invisible world
That no one will ever see if he can help it
And they expound on these nebulous creations unashamedly
And I sit mute and burning with a history
That maybe five people in the world have followed
One became a different person who was an unscrupulous stranger
One lost their mind, then reconstituted it
In a strange robotic form
The others had babies and learned a kind of importance
That makes nothing else important, least of all
Solo selfish bastards like me

And there are clues I drop to this history
And there are dark spaces I hammer words into at night
That all the world can access
That tell all my stories plain, if they only ventured to go there
And I'm a business-minded, practical person
Who knows the importance of a good elevator speech
But I don't want to do that work
I want those who need to find me come and find me
And find themselves burning as they turn the pages and start
Fitting the pieces together
