Straddling the Stone Wall Part 1: As it is Lyrics

We are created in order to create

As it is, our capacity for creation is shrunken

Sunk in a sea of endless dithering

We arrive to be alert

As it is, we are madly misoneistic

Savagely clinging to what we think we want to know

We are made to marinate

As it is, we opt for the prophylactic

That keeps us from it all

We are here to be here

As it is, hubris is our heuristic

And the road ahead goes nowhere
