Theory Of Mind Lyrics

The sweet sounds of worship escape from your tongue

Your hieroglyph dance, your medicine song

The child of silence asleep in your palm

As lightning and rainbows form blood brother bonds

Full of universal dreams you can't seem to shake off

As you step out of time, for effect, for a cause

With your moonlight laugh and your red giant bombs

And your cometted chaos and your calm empty arms

I could've sworn I had you, but I had you all wrong

I should've let it go but I'm still holding on to

This theory of mind

This skeletal self

This body of water

This hand I was dealt

This big block of ice

On my head slowly melts

From this fever of feeling

Like somebody else

As soon as I'm someone

I'm somebody else

Eighty thousand lines, and where have I got

I'm starting to think that my compass is shot

I keep tracing the circles you told me to draw

Keep blackening pages, keep stumbling on

Keep hoping to find something I never lost

Inside the silhouetted whirl of some secret first cause

I see the cold winter wind turn to early spring thaw

Turn to hot summer nights turn to more leaves lost

Now it's my turn to drink, but the hemlock's all gone

And the rooster's been butchered and so has the dawn of

This theory of mind

This skeletal self

This body of water

This hand I was dealt

This big block of ice

On my head slowly melts

From this fever of feeling

Like somebody else

As soon as I'm someone

I'm somebody else
