lyrics

But I was unfaithful to the method. Or to what I take the method to be. I cannot hold my breath and cover my eyes at the same time. It defeats the point of it all. There is only so far teleology can take you. And by you I mean you and me or anyone. I knew what I wanted to know, but I knew that I wanted to know precisely because it could never be known.

They don’t want to fear their minds untold
You leave their space their hands you hold
Find out you lie in words unsold
Dream deeper now until you’re old

You cannot know something that is untrue. At least, you cannot know something you know to be untrue. And so I could not know the you I wanted to know because I knew that no holding of breath, no suspension, no époche in Greek or on any other tongue would lead me to the you that you are for you

They don’t want to fear their minds untold
You leave their space their hands you hold
Find out you lie in words unsold
Dream deeper now until you’re old

I have redrawn your eyebrows thousands of times. The linee of your jaw, too. Your eyes and nose and chest and body and bones and flesh are for me always shifting. I see you in too many lights.

They don’t want to fear their minds untold
You leave their space their hands you hold
Find out you lie in words unsold
Dream deeper now until you’re old

I see you in too many lights, the you that you are for you
