lyrics

Slide the bead along the wire
Partitions shift with every addled mind
From left toward the right
Keeping score of existential crises
Too many egos are surviving
What's keeping them from dying?

When I try to create
An equation scares me straight
Fear enters my soul
The calculator takes control

Approximating what is real
Analyze
Predict
I'm trying to feel
Is the truth even consequential?
Solving a proof so transcendental

When I try to create
An equation scares me straight
Fear enters my soul
The calculator takes control

Restless in this vessel
A part of me is verily drunk on introspection
Counting fingers and toes
The rest of me is more intrigued by a higher math

A faith that there is more to know
Cracking at formulas born out of an incomplete worldview
Change that is great is often slow,
further belated by our failure to see through systems we’ve misconstrued

The panic is multiplying

Am I mad or does the math not add up?
