Lyrics
I can’t help believing
that this course she can’t stop weaving
a part of her deceiving
herself that this is right
She focuses fate
her intentions transferred to ticker-tape
through ink as black as night
all the magic was lost to the measurement
retracing lines to find
the days that were better spent
Complex enchantments all now saved to preset
Calculated, downsized, compromised I regret
and the incantations
put down in rows & columns
on a spreadsheet open wide
spreadsheet open wide
and by all indications
God’s tied up in litigation
and He isn’t on your side
He isn’t on your side
The last alarm it sounds a toll
As the treads they slowly roll
when science and magic collide
As the expressions
parse through the spellchecker
She edits her hexes
There’s no room for an error
And Inhibitions
Once designed to protect her
Are shredded by the tide
She’s taken for a ride
And now the piper wants his toll
As the waves they crash and roll
when science and magic collide
I can’t help believing
that this course she can’t stop weaving
a part of her deceiving
herself that this is right
stars stop flickering
it feels the heavens are bickering
and day goes black as night
