a jagged rock more gentle - randall kirk jones lyrics
much like the mayans played sport with human heads
and romans spent their days off at the colosseum
it’s not as if that’s all gone away
and i’m not sure we’ll be seen as so different
but yikes if you strip all the context away
our home begins to look horribly insane
when all art and entertainment ever -ssembled
only strived to make a jagged rock feel just a little more gentle
and i was born
between a chrome utopia
i can’t even imagine
and a tribe in war paint and animal print
in the trial and error of dying and adapting
incredible and saddening
where every other thought
somehow ties itself back to
how is any of this happening
and all of these attempts to
just shake hands with the unknown
palm readings, satanic rituals, séances
or freaks out looking for bigfoot
have the right idea
just wanting to shed some light on what’s just out of reach
it’s just the best place to find some truths probably not in
the psychic readings on your palms crease
i mean the first thing man must have sold
omitting sharp rocks and women had to be
these promises they couldn’t keep
so make no mistake about our tiny geography
squabbling bits of matter in a system of impossible immensity
and though looking at our size
you’d think the small stuff would get pushed aside
it’ll probably take freezing your -ss off
in another ice age for anyone to bridge that divide
this hole of having no answers
has been filled with the bodies of our ancestors
so where’s this meaning in being beyond insignificant
through all of time the answer right in front of our eyes
in the people we wander through whatever this is with
