lyrics

it is a complete congruence
we fit together like the sun on the horizon
or the curve of the beach where the water sweeps the shore
like the way shadows fit in all the scarred and pimpled canyons of the moon
the way baby whales can swim gracefully under their mothers' guiding fins
or singers pitching their voices together in total precision to make a sound like soaring
that's the way we fit together: like science found in nature
perfectly calculated algorithms and parabolas that formulate intricately and result in the way we can lay exactly tangled beneath fur blankets and our obviously subtle hints
we drop them like atomic bombs
and I am so childish in slumber, it seems we sleep together
I caress meddling thoughts of the light
the way it makes condensed Mediterrannean seas in your eyes
it's all patterned and structured
the infinite behavior with which we collide
like atoms splitting
like erosions
and explosions of birthing blossoms
lightning striking sand
pollination
sun making freckles like constellations between your shoulder blades
sailors never knowing the proverbial shore
like faith in mankind or anything almost human
it defies god
it defies science and Led Zeppelin
it defies maternal extinct
it is parallelism and we fit together like two lines stretching infinitely in different directions never intersecting
and as I felt more blissful than any famous, beautiful beach would ever make me feel
I thought about the hours we slept inside our hollow vestibules
the nights endlessly navigating our ways through skeletal labyrinths
I knew we could only be so paralleled by our deep appreciation for the enflamed kinetic energy possessed by our mouths and lingering smiles
the crop circles of our providence have made their presence known
and the ferocious insensitivity of our time leaving little room for anything but parting
but soon winter will come to claim our acquaintance and I wish I could journey with you blindly
throttled cruelly towards the north
still withstanding is the fated circular tying
a manifestation of our roots
so when you're lonely, you can find me in the nature of all things
