lyrics

and now even the landscape wears a mask
hard to see what's underneath
have to look for tears and shreds
see if you can somehow move through
move down move into the real thing
that is the task, moving through the way you do
you reach not for the stars
you reach beneath your feet
you begin with soil and you understand
that the mineral life there is vital
and you move your hands through it
you walk upon it knowing that to be gracious
to be grateful and to be great
you must bring yourself to the soil
you must lay face down
you must worship entropy
you must forget all of the things that you were told
you must not rush forward
you must not look back
but you must immerse yourself in the very ground
on which you stand
