Less Than You Think

  • Your mind's a machine
    It's deadly and dull
    It's never been still and its will
    Has never been free

    Lightly tapping
    A high-pitched drum

    As your spine starts to shine
    You shiver at your soul
    A fist so clear and climbing
    Punches a hole
    In the sky
    So you can see
    For yourself
    If you don't believe me

    There's so much less
    To this than you think

    It's almost gone
    The night is dissolving
    In a cup God lifts
    To toast the lightning

    Lightly tapping
    It's high-pitched and it hums

    Your spine starts to shine
    And you shiver at your soul
    A fist so clear and climbing
    Punches a hole
    In the sky
    So you can see
    For yourself
    If you don't believe me

    There's so much less
    To this than you think Writer/s: GLENN KOTCHE, JEFFREY SCOT TWEEDY, JIM O'ROURKE, JOHN CHADWICK STIRRATT, LEROY FREDRICK BACH, MIKAEL JORGENSEN
