Heavy Drone

from Kabuki Death EP by Zackery

/

lyrics

This life we live is a heavy drone
A web of frequencies on which we hang our bones
If you look closely there's really nothing there
Yet still we touch each other
Still we're touching things ourselves
Life's locked in the heavy drone
When you move so fast all you feel is the heavy drone
Life's lost in the heavy drone
When you move so fast all you see is the heavy drone
So how can we know our world with such limited tools
Like ears and eyes that feed us lies amid such a very thin gruel
We can't even see infra-red bands
Tell me how is it we can pretend
To know the stars and what they really are
How could we ever know in this life?

I found my breadth when I found death
I found life's breath when I found death
Wrapped up in a lullaby misplaced by time
One kiss, one sigh, one chance to say goodbye
And all there's really ever been is the moment we're in
And that's now and now

When scale and size betray our eyes and twist our mind
We'll never find what truth could ever be
But whose truth is it to see?
What looks like a speck to one can be a universe to me
And another gathers up those specks as flecks of dust
And washes them onto a beach beside the sea

For us eternity is split into moments of failure and wit
But our perception gives it its own perspective to play with
Life's lost in the heavy drone
When you move so fast all you feel is the heavy drone
Life's lost in the heavy drone
When you move so fast all you feel is the drone
