Watchmaker - Tapestry

Heard the sound of a swollen crowd

Heard some paralyzed shouting

Trying to figure it out in time

Solved the puzzles of life with a key and kite

On some forefather’s right

But do the pieces fit tightly?

The asymmetry of a tree is what convinces me there’s no way it should be

We’re just floating around free in an infinite sea

The tattered remains of a cat breeding flies in the back

Is what makes me think that no one’s watching my back

I’m not glued to no track

The birds get along humming a different song

So is it time to move on?

Oh this puzzles all wrong

When it comes time to die

You’ll go out wailing like a child

And in that split seconds time

Will it all feel right?

I hope the ideas in my mind trickle down through my spine

And my legs can unwind

And my mind won’t think twice, and make up for last time

Well why don’t I just misbehave and leave my elephant grave?

Or play some dice for a change and remember where I came from?

We perpetuate in chaotic storm, disadvantaged unborn…

And defy nature’s preference for the simplest form
