about

Most heavily influenced by "Lying" by Sam Harris

lyrics

A baby pup
He loves his life to death
But doesn’t grasp
The endless depth of it

See the world before bed

I try to rest
And strum a simple song
But dissonance
It tends to come along

I wanna try to inhale the gentle breeze
And so I go and void my lungs
As always hope, it's left to wait another day
As I inhale that wind is done

Salvation comes
To those with ignorance
Their minds at ease
After their penitence

Place their bets before death

In moments when
The noise is laid to rest
A child dreams
Of joy still unrepressed

I wanna try to inhale the gentle breeze
And so I go and void my lungs
As always hope, it's left to wait another day
As I inhale that wind is done
