about

We are not of yesterday or tomorrow, but we are of an immense age-Carl Jung

lyrics

Just a speck, pick a form
As soon as the man is born
A case is cast, an ego torn
Next to no one mourns
A century is too long
Three quarters sounds just right
Even less with the right
To end one's own life

Just one blot in one sphere
The tiniest of frontiers
Some words spoken, some cavalier
No one reappears
Millenniums are so short
How long can one mind last?
Even when he writes or his thoughts are erudite

Of an immense age yet still seeing the hopeless
Of an immense age that knows only the despondent
Entitlement or observation?
Objectivity or projection?

Of an immense age yet still gnawing and flailing
Of an immense age with contemporary gnashing
Calm acceptance or fierce resentment?
Self debasement or foolish honor?

Fear-burning inside of every life
Live-always looking over a shoulder
Bear-heavy burdens and maddening strife
Strive-to burn eyes through the night
Stars-glaring like fire

Just a speck, pick a form
As soon as the man is born
A case is cast, an ego torn
Next to no one mourns
A century is too long
Three quarters sounds just right
Even less with the right
To end one's own life

Next to no one mourns
Next to no one mourns
Next to no one mourns

Of an immense age
