about

A curse. The bearer must write endlessly, inside and out, to bridge a perceived gap between thought and feeling.

lyrics

I run my fingers along the shelf
I need too many words to justify myself
They keep on tumbling as I grow older

There's nothing certain. I'm all pretend
I can give only answers that have no end
Too many words. Too many words

I know that it's hot on my heels
I know that it senses my fear
Two minds apart. One door I can't open

I know there's a wolf on the moor
I know I can't read any more
Too many words. Too many words
Too many words. Too many words

And if I search for another trail
The scripture of the body only seems to fail
Transcendence never gets any closer

Like a dog repeating one old trick
I write and write and I write until I'm physically sick
So many words. Too many words

I know they're not louder than war
I know they just make my head sore
Nothing ever changes. Lives aren't unbroken

I know friends are letting me go
I know all I now have to show
Are too many words. Too many words
Too many words. Too many words

I know there's no prize to be found
I know that I'm gaining no ground
I know I've been running around, around, around
Release the hounds

I know there's no prize to be found
I know that I'm gaining no ground
I know I've been running around, around, around
Release the hounds

I know there's no prize to be found
I know that I'm gaining no ground
I know I've been running around, around, around
Release the hounds

I run my fingers along the shelf
