lyrics

YOU ARE CREATING

FOR EVERY EVERY STEP THERE IS A STONE
FOR EVERY PRODUCT : A CRAFT YOU HONE
MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT THE WORDS AND TONES

YEAH WE PLAY IT
AND THEN YOU MAKE IT INTO MUSIC
WE RELY ON YOUR EARS TO HEAR
DISCOVER WHAT WE DID NOT KNOW WAS THERE

ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES
DERIVED FROM YOUR SENSES

EVERY LETTER IS AN EMPTY CONTAINER
AND EVERY NOTE : A VESSEL YOU RIDE
THE VOICE YOU HEAR IS A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD

IT'S NOT A PICTURE · IT'S NOT A TEST
IT'S NOT A METAPHOR · AN ANALOGY LEST
YOU WANT IT TO BE
IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE

EVERYBODY'S FEELING LIKE
"OH MY · THAT'S MY SONG"
AND IT IS BECAUSE
YOU'RE HEARING YOURSELF BY MEANS OF US
THERE'S NO QUOTE UNQUOTE
YOU'RE CREATING THIS NOTE

ALL YOUR EXPERIENCES
DERIVED FROM YOUR SENSES

[ THE TOOL OF ART CAN ONLY TAKE YOU AS DEEP
AS THE ARTIST WHO MADE IT DARED TO REACH
WITHIN THEIR SELVES, THAT'S THE ONLY QUEST
YOU NEED WORRY ABOUT · FORGET THE REST ]

CHOOSE YOUR WORDS FOR WHAT THEY CONVEY
AND NOT FOR WHAT THEY MEAN OR SAY
YOU'RE USING THESE LINES
TO COME THROUGH TO YOU

EVERYBODY'S SAYING HE IS SINGING ABOUT ME
YOU'RE SINGING TO YOURSELF, YOU SEE
WHO MADE THE JOY
WHO MADE THE STRIFE
YOU’RE CREATING YOUR LIFE
OBVIOUSLY

I'M NOT SINGING. IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG
YOU'RE CREATING EVERY SONG
TAKE CREDIT AND BOW
'CAUSE WE DO NOT
STAND UP AND RECLAIM
YOU CREATED THIS REFRAIN
