lyrics

FORM WITHOUT SHAPE

V1
I deliberate the ink upon the page
Has dried like permanent mistakes
And these are difficult to change
I will then proceed slow and cautiously
So not to compromise retreat
It is difficult to speak

V2
I might speculate a shuffling of the frames
Despite what I anticipate
Always difficult to face
I would be misled the corridors ahead
Are drafty passageways of breath
Which are difficult to thread

CH
To know is different than being known
To know is different than being known in the end

V3
I delineate the form without a shape
So suddenly I hesitate
It’s a difficult escape
I must yet concede you overshadow me
So strange the thought is comforting
You are difficult to flee

CH
To know is different than being known
To know is different than being known in the end

B
Instrumental

CH
To know is different than being known
To know is different than being known in the end (2x)
