lyrics

If fear is information
I’m learning like I’m a som
Wood barrels lining the basement
Still couldn’t tell you what wine it was

I said what I want into a canyon and walked on
I said what I want, then I got lost

I think I have the right
direction if not the mind of someone you admire
A guru; a spirit guide
Better now, or better then
Selfsame thread weaving
Better now, or better then
All I know… I’ll keep moving

Depression is information
You’d think I know enough now
I wrote the book on redemption
Then saw the cover was upside down

I said what I need alone in my car– hell, I screamed
I said what I need; it felt funny

I think I have the right
direction if not the mind of someone you admire
A guru; a spirit guide
Better now, or better then
Selfsame thread weaving
Better now, or better then
All I know… I’ll keep moving

I think I have the right
intention if not the life of someone you admire
A therapist, a Ted Talk guy
Better off, or better than
Selfsame person in the end
Better now, I think, but I don’t know
