Proximity Lyrics

Then she gave me

A jar of mold-able clay

Smiled softly

Before her simple request

Was made

"Make for me

Something which represents

Your view of the world"

Said she'd be right back

Then walked away

Easy

Or I thought so

But I stood there

Stupefied

My representation changed

With every second

that went by

Felt the pressure

the closer I heard her pace

But the closer her pace

The clearer my view

Bewildered, she spake

For I had made nothing

Asked, "Why?"

With eyes

Deeply piercing my soul

So I told her my view changed

Recreated itself

The further you got from me

Hadn't realized

Just how much my world

Was altered

Depending on her proximity

Thus, nothing was the best example

of my worldview

Thinking out loud

Nothing of beauty or worth

Is represented without you

Thus, nothing was the best example

Of my worldview

Thinking out loud

Nothing of beauty or worth

Is represented without you
