I was just a sad paper hat until the river splashed
Let me go
Let me flow
Off into the river's soul
Around the ricks and down the stream
over a school of bass
no one knows what the river has to show
I see a burrowed badger underneath your family tree
They all fall in fall but you dare to be that one leaf
that can tough it out, route-rippling the current
Dodging swerving 20 twigs a person
When will I start sinking when with this stop?
when will I fall off the edge of this rock?
I'm currently the current's current re-occuring rerun
before it begun I knew I'd need a refund
Thinking I'm a sailboat
Trying to be a savior
When really I'm a wide-ruled college notebook paper
starting to get soggy
and sick from the motion
thank god for the waterfall that dropped me in the ocean
"The older I get / The more life starts to make sense / And the less I care." Somehow we have created a musical infrastructure where a brilliant musician like doseone can create his magnum opus and somehow it remains totally unnoticed and ignored in music media. This is a dazzling, complex and ambitious piece of work that demands a lot of time and attention but totally pays off. The kind of work that you can only really make when you're 20+ years in the business and stopped caring too much. Benjamin van Vliet
