lyrics

When the samurai found the space in his divinity
He sought to send them silence they that lie about their truth
He took them by surprise because they couldn’t have seen him coming
So wrapped up in their story that their magic had decayed
Though they keep me quiet

Keeping that in mind it had no vein of cruelty
He sought to send them silence, cleanly thus he took their heads
But to every single horror still they kept on blind repeating
Perhaps you’re already dead when you are just a talking head
Keep me quiet
(You’re never gonna see it if you’re never really looking
You’re never gonna hear it if you let them do the talking
You’re never gonna hear it if you give them all the talking
You’re never gonna hear it if you let them do the talking
never gonna hear it at all)

The ego rules by fear that’s why we see it all around us
Maintained by abnegation let the interest begin
As the lights come down they were never there to start with
All they had was your acceptance you could see what you would see
There’s a minor phantom whispering in the corner with his fake fist
All those glory days collecting dust they must have given them away for free
And of all the things we can’t abide though collectively we no longer try
Persuaded as we’ve been that the enemy isn’t there
Denial of the forces though they spin til we’re exhausted
Ignorance is bliss except for when it leads to this
And it always leads to this

On occasions there’s exceptions when someone drops a nugget
Didn’t realise they had it or they wouldn’t have had it with them
When the flowers grow through bullshit and we sold them out at harvest
And the bullshit gets exhaustive and we’re all too tired to speak
We all need quiet to think
Give me quiet
