lyrics

5.4 The Enemy of the World

You're so full of your own intent
sunning on rocks by the riverbed
I thought I'd return the compliment
somehow I see you with imminent faces
but the looks don't mask the depths of that head
you're so full of your own intent
Chernobyling notions with hunkering bases
such a clever man for so many dead
I thought I'd return the compliment
but how many sleeves shave how many faces
can you keep the world or your own mouth fed?
You're so full of your own intent
the world is far more than a long list of places
begging to be led
I thought I'd return the compliment
so have this gift of infinite spaces
spiraling out in the stars till zed
you're so full of your own intent
I thought I'd return the compliment
