lyrics

Invitation to the Flotilla of Yes

If I say I’m drowning
Will everything change?
Have you ever asked for a hand out of something?

To scrute the inscrutable
And eff the ineffable

Impossible to move against four
Forces that rhyme invisibly
When three’s the most I ever could be
Beasts encoded each in its maze

But I haven’t wandered too far away from it
And I gather tether unto me bit by bit

To scrute the inscrutable
As if I need to broaden my scope
And eff the ineffable
As if the spell will break when it’s spoke

Yes my purpose remained buried but never burned
All the treasure I can unlock once I’ve learned
No I haven’t wandered too far away from it
And I gather tether unto me bit by bit

All life is is labor
And ours is for nothing
At least Narcissus has himself!

…will everything change?

How could you forget pleasure, girl?
They said it would not buy me a seat
When for some this is all that they need?
They said it would not make me complete

All the sirens wanted was to sing their song
And invite anyone who wants to to sing along

Her breath on my neck my breath on yours
Others surround in softness and yes
Our love for you will still be as strong
If no is all you’ve got left

And if we awaken in fury what once was love
Know that nothing will remain of us no matter what
Yada da da etc

Float away with me!
Float away with me!
