lyrics

i was me on a highway trailing blue slime behind me
looking forward to a journey through the dark and formless night
and before me a chimera, part owl part frog
where the path forks left and the path forks right
and she told me "i hear the song of your soul"

and she said "which path will you take"
it was a trick it looped right back to where we came from
that same place, that same false dichotomy
and i said "deeper, take me deeper"
i wanna go down below and dig down deep
to where the roots explore the soil
and behold, a cave of treasures opened up below

sparkling and colorful, lit by fire within,
but then on closer inspection
it was pizza boxes soda bottles broken glass and plastic
the un-repented sins of the generations
through the veil, i became bloodied by their tears

well the tears are made of glass and the treasure is all trash
and you love it, you must love it, for this is our creation
and the ancestors they see you and the ancestors they are you
and in your lovers eyes you see the arms that span the centuries
encircle you with love

so be careful where you walk and take care of who you touch
back out on the path with your one slug foot
and your coat of many arms you meet a priestess of the stars
with her cloak made of light and she looks you in the eye
and you say "i trust the song of your soul"

i lost myself somewhere and at some point i became you
hope you enjoyed my body now you know how i move
with strength and endurance and a minimal assurance
that those who come near won't have too much to prove
for we all must learn to treasure what is here
