you like to think that you can live beyond good and evil
amputated from humanity on some life long intellectual retreat
when everything is conceptual and all is rhetorical you can feel so powerful
but when you’re forced to face the physical world you scurry like an insect
there is a virus in your tenets, don’t be naive, you know it’s true
and if you don’t protect yourself, obsidian currents will devour you
you have committed yourself wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas
all things cerebral and abstract with no patience for impractical emotions
burning everyone who ever tried to get close to you
but you’re so lizard like you don’t feel any passion for anything but yourself

And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
