lyrics

I give an edge to the aperture
Or else it bleeds as the line blurs
It forms the present, the present tense
It is the lens that makes it make sense
It neatly cuts between fore and aft
It’s sweeping through me a backdraft
It forms the present, the present tense
It is the lens that bends the distance

Perfect defect, this lens a reflection internal
Unfold behold, it begs for a watcher eternal
A strain a pain, this light is a blinding inferno
A trickle through a bit will do this little rule
That every moment leads a moment

Perfect defect, it’s a cure with a cause for an army
A need decreed, I need an army, I’ll raise an army
With sight for the half light
With ears for the soft night
Their single sense, the present tense

Deaf to the rhyme blind to the reason
Live to the here and now
Gift to the game curse to the chaos
Strive for the why and how
Deaf to the rhyme blind to the reason
Live to the here and now
