Kaddisfly - Five Tears From A Carpenter's Eye For Detail lyrics

What is it like? What's your defense? One of you says... Says "look at this gla**, it's half empty" But one of you says... Says "look at this carafe, it is half full" Like two nuts in a jar That are arguing over their origin But we have insight To see that they are brothers, born of the same shell And cast in there by fate alone Still they bicker like strangers Fight like old friends And I would like to tell them... "Hey! Look at you and him" Will not the same fate overtake both of you? From the soil you came, and to the soil you'll return Blast the folly of humans If only they could see they could see Their shell; still they argue like nuts in a... Ja-a-a-a-a-a-ar... And look to the lid as they k**, claw, and scream... scream Madam officer, Lord or whoever, Are we safe? Can you say? As they sky shouts back, "If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" Because currently you're spelling "our lives" Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I" O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I... To find the rules governing our values of investment in each other Simply grab the words and read... And I bet you will lose all your need to scream... scream Madam officer, Lord or whoever, Are we safe? Can you say? As they sky shouts back, "If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" The sunlight on hillsides, our minds make the matter As up stairs, we'll climb ethereal ladders So inscribe, in stone, a statement of surrender (Bye, bye, bye) With a quill forged, forged of light Madam officer, Lord or whoever, Are we safe? Can you say? As they sky shouts back, "If you want life back segregate your selfish ways" Because currently you're spelling "our lives" Without the "R-U-L-E-S" and the "V-O-I" O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I, O-I...
