lyrics

wandering and lost in the dead of night,
i’m arming up with words looking just to fight
the traditional god of my ritual life.

nervous though I feel, i embrace the truth
of the evils i had wrought in my untamed youth.
all apologies for the legions of proof.

oh.

i’ve got to know where we’re going to go
to have something on this earth i am proud to show.

holding out my hands, waiting for the flight
of an angel here or there on the fortieth night
of my replica search for a warning sign.

stood up on that hill and outstretched my eyes
to horizons i forgot in the morning light,
even glimpses of the truth on the rising brights.

oh.

i’ve got to know where we’re going to go
to have something on this earth i am proud to show.

no i won’t sacrifice
visions of paradise
only to satisfy a willful vice.

give me a single word,
something i haven’t heard,
give me your most absurd and rest assured.

things just seem all too keen
in your imaginings.
here is an effigy we’ve yet to see.

i’ve got to know where we’re going to go
to have something on this earth i am proud to show.

about

Plenty Near Brooklyn, New York

hey there!
i am collecting this music under the project name "plenty near"

but it's also an adjectival phrase used to bring far away things a bit closer and push too close things a bit farther away.

i am from seattle but live in new york city.
