Lyrics

[Intro]
I become
[Verse 1]
For the greatest well being
Mint anarchy with the coins of a
Heritable utopia
Sage blue jeans, enduring
[Refrain]
I become
My opposable thumb
Lesson
Is a bridge to what I become
Dwelling
More of a game than a lesson
Concentric
More an escape than a dwelling
[Verse 2]
Concentric spheres
Reduced to a single scheme
And emerge full grown from the head
[Bridge]
It turns out we can't reassemble
Leafing through an ark within
This is not memory we lose
[Refrain]
My opposable thumb
Is a bridge to what I become
More of a game than a lesson
My opposable thumb
[Outro]
The dawning of a feeling overflows
There, rather tender
Written by: David Longstreth
