about

From Jiddu Krishnamurti's quote: "Truth is a pathless land".
In our present culture, we have forgotten the value of the phrase, "I don't know". We feel we must always have a simple understandable answer for every problem. This actually makes us vulnerable.

lyrics

Soft and warm, cozy and comfortable
Set in your ways, safe and so un-reachable
Looking right through me as I reach out
Locked inside your head, without any doubt

Taught from the mark that you have no chance
Hook line and sinker; less a trap, more like romance
Blinders are tailored to accomodate
Following lines left behind by the gods you made

(chorus)
- I point toward the truth, you glare at my finger
- All paths lead away from the place you should linger
- Stuck inside a loop, who figured
- at the end of the day, we could find our own way
- I point toward the truth, ou glare at my finger
- all paths lead away from the place you must linger
- stuck inside a loop, who figured that
- dogmatic dialog would leave us in such a fog

(bridge)
Soft sand cradles your head
embalms your relief
Nose to the grindstone
refines your belief
tail wagging the dog
Bird in your hand
Forsake all you don't know about a pathless land
Understanding you don't understand
elusive Brass Ring
Embracing the wonder that is everything

(solo)
(repeat chorus x2)
