Natural To Need

from Relative Truth by Gabe Hascall

	/

lyrics

supernatural circumstances stand up to some scrutiny
people dying stop to dance as time stands still hypnotically
in the saucepan is a small man made of plastic melting down
out the back door there’s a great war fought and won under the sun

I spelled it out for someone
and I heard it read back to me

perfume filled the nose and burned the eyes but not enough to blind
all those who opposed perfume got left behind to smell unkind

I made it back for more
and I fought my greatest fear

it’s natural to need the foundation and the framework
but it’s necessary to see that’s it’s all still gonna crumble
below the bottom line is the center of the hot earth
above the crooked spine is a dangling skeleton head

landlocked in a desert house deserted by a coastal creature
made friends with a mouse
he mistakenly made me his teacher

but I’ve never been a mouse
and I don’t know how to be one

it’s natural to need the foundation and the framework
but it’s necessary to know that’s it’s all still gotta go
if we could just stay here then here wouldn’t even be special
if we could just stay here we’d dream of waking up

I have everything The Stereo has released (Let Go & Jamie's solo stuff, too) and while it's early, I don't see how time won't prove "Thirteen" to equal or surpass anything else they've done. It's that good. whitsbrain
