50,000 Names

lyrics:
everything you saw obeys a natural law
that is somehow flawed
the stream of time might get dammed up
make your empty look like half a cup
reason comprehends
beginning middle end it can’t suspend
the disbelief that cells & bones
somehow fit into alternate zones
inventing space where there’s no place
how can you be standing with your hand out
catching the rain that does not exist
inventing 50,000 lists
crawling from the sea seven days a week
makes it hard to reach
past the dunes where more evolved
creatures count on fingers to problem solve
inventing tools for breaking the rules
easier than banging rocks together
shivering waiting for the flame
inventing 50,000 names
it’s lonely and it’s dull here inside this skull
unless you’re inventing rules for breaking the tools
rearranging time & space to satisfy
all your situations and tastes
inventing 50,000 fates

lyrics:
in northern lands you gotta know
the thirty words for snow
sometimes it melts away so fast
when you want to last
softly how it lies on the earth
in helpless surrender
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
it’s up to you to conjure clouds
and coax their treasure down
every storm that never falls
would come if you could call
softly whisper an imperfect name
never are there two the same
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
you will walk through desert heat
never will you see
that exact splintered light
over fields of white
softy how you lay entwined
with a season so rare to find
but don’t curse the sun
the spring made it show
you only have one word for snow
one word for snow
