exist - lazarus ward lyrics

[intro]
–chancellor: you’re a bug, mr. wordsworth. a crawling insect. an ugly misformed little creature who has no purpose here, no meaning
wordsworth: i am a human being!
chancellor: you’re a librarian, mr. wordsworth. you’re a dealer in books and two cent fines and pamphlets and closed stacks and the musty insides of a language factory that spews out meaningless words on an -ssembly line. words, mr. wordsworth, that have no substance and no dimension… —

[verse 1]
open mouth but you don’t know what to say you’re in your mind, your mind
silence take my breathe, fill my lungs and feel alive, alive
stepping stones feel it in your bones and hear the still
sp-ces in between the thoughts connecting all around you

–chancellor: …you make believe have an existence, by scribbling index numbers on little cards
wordsworth: i don’t care. i tell you: i don’t care. i’m a human being, i exist….and if i speak one thought aloud, that thought lives, even after i’m shoveled into my grave
chancellor: delusions, mr.wordsworth, delusions! that you inject into your veins with printer’s ink, the narcotics you call literature: the bible, poetry, essays, all kinds…
wordsworth: i exist–

[verse 2]
electrify, circuit break the wire
overload the system with amplitudes alive
current running through conducting only large amounts of drive
positive and neutral ground buy an understanding of us
zeros and ones, buy a logical or made of dust
buy the creator or made of data
simple minded or complicated
gotta made decisions or get deleted
reap from the world until depleted
bound the favor someones mistakes
to find the answer or have a meaning

–wordsworth: …i speak one thought aloud, that thought lives…–

[verse 3]
purpose, versus direction
do they coexist or have no connection
i built my house on a mound of clay
but i started drifting and it washed away
turned to rubble, out to sea
along with the person i used to be
so i planted seeds and grew the trees
where the roots go deep and they carried me
over the water, into the sky
where the music stopped and was all a lie
the past and future both left behind
so take my breathe and give me life

–chancellor:…poetry, essays, all kinds, all of it are opiate to make you think you have a strength, when you have no strength at all! you have nothing but spindly limbs and a dream, and the state has no use for your kind!
wordsworth: i am a human being. i speak one thought aloud, that thought lives. i tell you, i don’t care, even after i’m shoveled into my grave. i exist.–
