Lyrics

Dr. Miller speaks
Some sort of pedagogic speech
Singing praises of days and endless music
And I'm transported to a vestibule
With a river down beneath
There's a man hanging there across the door
Like some old Christmas wreath
When suddenly the man
Falls from the door
Into the darkness of a chasm
That I've never seen before
And I can't help but think
To replace this human wreath
Dr. Miller thinks
Therefore she lays a desert Sphinx
Watching over the Giza's threefold structures
And here I am back at a vestibule
With with my dreams and my health
Rummaging through these kitchen cupboards
Perched up on a shelf
The cupboards are facing towards the ceiling
And I'm lifting lids to look inside
I never find what it is my thoughts are seeking
But I break a hinge as I try
And as I step down from the countertop
Behind me there's a man smiling on a bed
Who am I who thinks?
Is it this consciousness that links
The field of love and light and eternal structure
Because here I am crying in a world of hurt
With homelessness and regret
Waking from successive nights of slumber to a world of mounting debt
I feel my connection to the folks I meet as travel this world alone
I give my thanks to the nourishment from food I eat
As I make my own efforts to grow
And as I live a life of meager means
There's a purpose that I wish to know
