lyrics

Hexagonal rooms
Four sides shelved with books
A library of fools
Stretching out a finite amount
For every combination
Of letters, numbers, spaces and
Punctuation
As long as the longest book ever written

But gibberish
Makes up 99 percent
Or more of it
Fragmented strings of nonsense
But if you wander through
And skim enough pages in books on shelves
In enough rooms
Then you might find


Something youe been waiting for
Something on the tip of your
Tongue but you just can’t remember
And every thought you’ll have forever

You could find this song
Even if i sing it wrong
Your final conversations
and descriptions of you naked

Every big of slang
From the future of the lang’
Every scroll from alexandria
Text books from rural iowa

Every question posed
Every answer you don’t know
And the future of the nation
And what i’ll do on vacation

Everything lost in translation
And solutions to the problems that we’ve made
And if that’s true, what does it mean to create?


Now imagine
A formula that plots every
Iteration
Of points in a static
Resolution
As either red, blue or green
A finite gallery
Of everything that you could see


There’d be every mondrian
Every wall scribbled on
By a kid with a new box of crayons
The shape of ancient human hands

Even every word
In any font, with any kern
Every frame from star wars nine
And never given valentines

Old blueprints
From the house you grew up in
But this one has a secret room
With everything you never drew

Tomorrow’s selfie
And the birds and the bees
Every single future meme
And faces only seen in dreams

True prehistoric color schemes
And perspectives that picasso painted out
Well creating is what finding's all about


but Don’t get lost
Most of what you see
will offend your sensibilities

Know when to stop
You could wander for years
and only ever find the fears

You never forgot
You might as well be
Another chimpanzee

Banging on the keys
Searching for a mid-
Summer’s night dream

Banging on the keys
You might as well be
Another chimpanzee

Banging on the keys
Banging on the keys
