Truth in the Abstract Lyrics

The summer's almost over

The days are growing short

A season of disorder

Will the Fall fall apart?

The winds come on rushing

Passing like a prayer

Cultivating something

I'm breathing in the air

Every moment makes a connection

In the heart and head

Understanding through introspection

I think we've been misled

Is this really worth our attention?

What can we comprehend?

Does it even make any difference

Enemy or friend

To the end

To the end

So here in this half light

We see only half clear

At best we're merely half right

No matter how sincere

Truth really matters

Only if it's true

And everything you're assuming

I will not assume

"Answers always make me suspicious!"

At least that's what I've said

"Questions only lead to more questions"

Onward to the end

Cosmic censorship interjects an

Existential dread

No one here can confirm or deny when

We can't wake the dead

Who ascends?

Who ascends?

An act of surrender

I'm willing to choose

If everything's determined

Are we free to lose?

If we replace the Argo

Every plank and nail

The only question worth asking

Is "will that ship still sail?"

Human being, real and authentic

Leaves us terrified

Feeling our way to light from the darkness

Forms demystified

Stolen moments lost to distraction

More than meets the eye

Muddled everything to abstraction

"Trust but verify"

We can try

We can try

So now, let's get going

Onward to the new

Unencumbered by tradition

Untethered to the pew

Those who know keep silent

Those who speak, don't know

And somewhere in the distance

A soul begins to grow

Every moment makes a connection

In the heart and head

Understanding through introspection

I think we've been misled

Is it really worth our attention?

What's waiting round the bend?

Times moves only in one direction

Reminds and condescends

To what end?
