Ripped apart By repetitions of rhythm To be sunk Submerged by swells of strings, In trickles of tempo Mutes Of melody thrust Roughly in bells of throat Flooding slickly in The reservoir of lung One voice in chorus One note in arrest One movement, no meter No discord of flesh I am a single signal Tear me from the ground And drown me in sound I am a crest of a wave Tear me from the ground And drown me in sound In ripples of rhythm Drunken I will drift, in escape's Harmonic undertow And bury myself In the sounding sands Each heartbeat washed out On endless reverb tails Carry me to climatic crests And crush me in the depths I am a single signal Tear me from the ground And drown me in sound I am a crest of a wave Tear me from the ground And drown me The will is floating, adrift Like a cork in the currents A vessel becalmed Amidst a war of waves One simple, single voice In a formless ocean of noise Let me loose, let me loose To lose myself in noise The mind, salt-rotted and sinking Noise Meaningless In the multitude I will drift in the undertow Ears stopped and heart struck I will be void in the vastness I will not be I'll gather my rags And walk into the waves And pitch and sink In a sea of sound I am a single signal Tear me from the ground And drown me in sound I am a crest of a wave Tear me from the ground And drown me Drown me in sound
