I’ll move at whatever pace
It takes to build this sacred place.
Got a brimful skull with visions shown
I will sweat and work the stone
Or pull back with a lighter hand
To carve out detail from the plans
Poured in your head at night in dreams,
Obscured by rings of dopamine.
I would rather feel seen than impressed
But you’re the best of both worlds
You’re the best of both worlds
Set your paranoid heart at its rest
Come find me out in both worlds
Find me out in both worlds.
The push and pull of fate and will
Makes earth’s crust breathe, forms valleys, hills.
And in this landscape you and I
Have seen a trace of paradise:
Eden free from god and sin
We grind till angels let us in
Their wingbeats stir us from our place
Fan embers for a matchless flame
And I would rather feel seen than impressed
But you’re the best of both worlds
You’re the best of both worlds
Set your paranoid heart at its rest
Come find me out in both worlds
Find me out in both worlds.
