lyrics

general relation
painted it all red,
and off the charts
and onto the graphs.

took up no space, only time.
(linear and general.)

this is you!
this is what you look like!
this is you,
a frame of reference in elliptic orbit.

well, in the interest of
those deserters to
where the helixed shores
house all the unknown--

there never is a fine line.
(these deserters to the shores.)

ghosts of those i held near,
all but shadows silent.
ghosts of those i held dear,
all but print and screen starred.
never ever to be looked upon again.
ghosts of those i held near,
all but essence easter.
ghosts of those i held dear,
all but spilled ink over,
well they have a few suggestions...

why don't you take it back
as it breaks your bones,
and roll it all out
for everyone to see,

and see who takes it as a sign.
(so why don't you take it back?)

this is you!
this is what you look like!
this is you,
a frame of reference in elliptic orbit.

as intuitive as you will ever get,
you're practically fool proof.
as intuitive as you will ever be,
you're virtually virtual.
and yet so
yet so far
so far out
far out of
out of sight.

This is just one of those albums that are in the perfect place at the perfect time. If you described it to me, I probably wouldn't listen to it, so just go listen to it. Seriously. You'll be glad you did. Morgan LaVigne
