lyrics

keeping still, not speaking
because it's too soon
the miller threshes wheat
under a new moon
the flies that land on
the lashes of your eyes
are the color of the soul's dark night

but still we fight, fight-- fight!
against the wind and the source of our plight
why don't we stay, stay-- stay?
at the bottom, watching surface meet day
quiet, remembering homogeneity
existing as a monument to mystery

well, who knows what creatures
crawl in the darkness?
i unclench my jaw
unfurl my hard fists
centripetal forces and the storm of the mind
are weaker than the heavy, ever-achingly divine

but still we fight, fight-- fight!
against the wind and the source of our plight
why don't we stay, stay-- stay?
at the bottom, watching surface meet day
quiet, remembering homogeneity
existing as a monument to mystery

cause at the bottom
you keep your thoughts in good form
downtrodden upon the ground
you earthworm!
you think you can run
and you think you can hide
but you can never escape
what's inside

but still we fight, fight-- fight!
against the wind and the source of our plight
why don't we stay, stay-- stay?
at the bottom, watching surface meet day
quiet, remembering homogeneity
existing as a monument to mystery

mystery...
mystery...
mystery!
