Lyrics

You brought the shadow work, the Jungian mind
Looking for the archetypes we left behind
An ocean between us, typing through the screen
Reaching for something hidden and unseen
Then you turned to help me with a modern tract
A shallow text of guilt, delivered as a fact
Assuming I was blind to how the grift was spun
Handing down a manual like the work was done
The architecture starts to tilt
Under the weight of borrowed guilt
You step into the teacher's light
And wait for me to back down from the fight
But it's too heavy for the space you hold!
The air gets thin and the floor turns cold!
You preach to me just to feel secure
Then drop into the gutter when the thoughts get pure
You shift the gears, you flip the switch
Dive from the sacred to a sudden hitch
Leave the spirit stranded on the borderline
And slide back to the safety of a punchline!
When the rigid theories start to push my bounds
And you feel the friction on our separate grounds
The lecture stops, the seminar ends
The intellectual posture suddenly bends
You drop a mention of a midnight stunt
An old performance, graphic and blunt
Using the vulgar like a plastic shield
To keep the deeper fractures unrevealed
The architecture starts to tilt
Under the weight of borrowed guilt
You step into the teacher's light
And wait for me to back down from the fight
But it's too heavy for the space you hold!
The air gets thin and the floor turns cold!
You preach to me just to feel secure
Then drop into the gutter when the thoughts get pure!
You shift the gears, you flip the switch
Dive from the sacred to a sudden hitch
Leave the spirit stranded on the borderline
And slide back to the safety of a punchline!
From the heights of the collective soul
To the prescriptive lines of social control
I play the listener, I hold the frame
While the acreage goes up in flame
We count the days to keep from the edge
But my own journey gets pushed off the ledge
But it's too heavy for the space you hold!
The air gets thin and the floor turns cold!
You preach to me just to feel secure
Then drop into the gutter when the thoughts get pure
You shift the gears, you flip the switch
Dive from the sacred to a sudden hitch
Leave the spirit stranded on the borderline
And slide back to the safety of a punchline!
Just a dirty punchline.
Keep the anchor cast.
Flip the switch.
