Lyrics
The Absolute Shall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
That breathless hunted feeling
So always
So present
It’s a curious thing to be fine and exploding simultaneously
I am the creature of a million unknowable habits
And I still expect to label them
Control every wave
Numb to all shock to all pulse
Transition time again
Seep me away with your bitter glory
The brittle promise of a calm completion
A message written
A five-year plan
The music revealed its dumb secrets
It’s gentle nourishing toxicity
And vice
In a frosted glass box lays a boy
End
