about

Hexagram 25: Wu Wang ('Disentangling'). "... free yourself from disorder."

lyrics

Woke up tied up
waiting for someone more free with their words to come
and take what I don't hide well enough
and dig it up

It don't have a name
in fact it has less of a name than it used to
But one thing you don't have to be
is ever afraid of me

'Cause it's dark enough as it is here
dark enough as it is here

Maybe it's not what I think
but it's like we're riding around with the lights off
it changes so suddenly
you're spinning around
then you're flipped upside down

You're a treasure, a treasure, a treasure
you're an angel, a satvic, a kite
your accidents kick at the embers
scatter and stir up the heat and the light
and God knows how cold it can be here
God knows how cold it can be here

Let's go down to the river
spend the autumn in the forest
where we'll sigh and cast off
in chorus
we know the signs and the markers
and can follow them in darkness
while the river and the willows
pull their hearts into the earth

Old brothers call me
but they're not the sun, and I'm not the sea
the water floating on the air
we didn't put it there

Sand or blacktop
the overpass is over-wrought
they'll take what we don't learn well enough
and bring it up
they'll take what we don't learn well enough
and bring it up
