lyrics

Truth bends like a light refracted
Passing through the walls of a prism
Revealing an iridescent spectrum
Harmony perceived as a schism

The world you see in monochrome
I see as kaleidoscopic
Is it the size of the lens or the filter
That makes your vision so myopic?

Hey! Won’t you let it be?
Off to find your unicorn of uniformity
Hey! Seems to me
Most every paradigm is just a parody

Truth shifts like tiles on a puzzle cube
Moving o’er a plane poly-sided
A lifetime spent deciphering
To get those swatches neatly divided

This urge toward concrete certainty
Assured in your finite comprehension
Can you not see it’s a fallacy
That sows not sense but dissension?

Hey! Won’t you let it be?
Off to find your unicorn of uniformity
Hey! Seems to me
Most every paradigm is just a parody

Truth hangs like mist on the water
So serene a cacophony of grays
I once cried out for clarity
But I’ve since grown accustomed to the haze

Your dread of ambiguity
Never wondering if the stakes had been contrived
Not life, not death, just you and me
And neither of us gonna make it out alive…

Hey! Won’t you let it be?
Off to find your unicorn of uniformity
Hey! Seems to me
Most every paradigm is just a parody
