Epilogue feat. Jason Peterson DeLaire and Katherine Parent

from Jaws of Life After Death by SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE

lyrics

Can I take a moment, a minute, a sec
To say what I’d say if this was my last breath?
The feeling of the images before this a wreck
When everything slows down at first impact
So while we’re all here and everyone is intact
Allow me to be as honest as I would be in death
Now, just to start, I think you’re all a bunch of idiots
Whithout the slightest notion of what your beauty really is
Meandering minutiae
Hell, we all really did
Wandering the moelhills
Makin’ Odysseys of Iliads
Tryna act grown when we’re all a bunch of little kids
Swelling with some self-importance over simple silliness
Or was that more me? Allow me to apologize
Don’t keep a score please
We ain’t on a tally, ain’t before a judge
From this point of view there couldn’t be more of
The type of pain at every transgression
That swells from the heart and teaches us a lesson
And the messes of selfishness? There couldn’t be less of
The pointed questions lessenin’ our brethren in the sludge
Diminishin’ our sistren, demeanin’ our connection
Debasin’ greater family, breakin’ down the fractions
Tune out the static of the mellow dramatic
There’s more to see than tinted-glass/monochromatic
There’s more to this life, there’s more in our death
And there’s somethin’ like magic in all of our heads
In all of our dreams, and in all of our chests
A treasure unseen til the final of breaths

And at the end of the line
We see the sublime
And mundane align
As well as the lines
Of lives intertwined
Ahead and behind
Of what we saw as divine

Now bear with me, I move at different paces
Visit different places, inhabit different spaces
Keep it to the left, keep it tight like braces
Pull tricks out of sleave, I pullin’ out the aces
Pull self out the ego, and the sufferin’
Stay in self awareness cuz it serves a function
Imagine laghin’ at a joke or arguin’ about nothin’
When the unseen hand grabs the purest substance
Time turns to jello that wobbles and slides
In the middle’s a drain that swallows our lives
We round slow spiral towards a sinkhole
We see the moments pass, we don’t even blink though

And at the end of the line
We see the sublime
And mundane align
As well as the lines
Of lives intertwined
Ahead and behind
Of what we saw as divine

Inanimate rhythms outta time over shouts
The silence within is the chaos without
The immovable motion and unstoppable stillness
The sickest of cures and the healthiest illness
It’s all here, but no shred of evidence
Only experience with somethin’ just ahead of it
An impulse, a notion, some de ja vu
An inkling, a goosebump at foreheads view
Swollen in motion in moments that’s bloated
Floating in gorgeous sensations that’s imploded
The color orange just under the skin
The space between atoms
The color of grin
The color knowin’, the color of solace
The color of healing, the color of promise
The feelings that color the space inside
The color of space you feel when you die
