Black Foliage (Itself) Lyrics
you are the subject of many conversations
from three points of light to the fourth
i sang a song that lasted a year
you are the subject of sketches
i made for a sculpture in sound
when you pass the black foliage
imagine an eternity wrapped in silver sound
when you pass the black extension
imagine you are the subject eating, walking, making love
dressing for the universe
there are several layers of meaning,
hundreds of different aspects of the soul
we cannot simply seek to be known, high points, low points,
all around the globe
you are the subject of sketches
i made for a sculpture in sound
when you pass the black foliage
imagine an eternity wrapped in silver sound
when you pass the black extension
from three points of light to the fourth
i sang a song that lasted a year
i made for a sculpture in sound
when you pass the black foliage
imagine an eternity wrapped in silver sound
imagine you are the subject eating, walking, making love
dressing for the universe
there are several layers of meaning,
hundreds of different aspects of the soul
we cannot simply seek to be known, high points, low points,
all around the globe
you are the subject of sketches
i made for a sculpture in sound
imagine an eternity wrapped in silver sound
when you pass the black extension

pretty much the best song ever. sculpture in sound.
The song is about someone's muse. My favorite OTC song.
the sleeper on the album
It's been so long since I have listened to this great music.
a line is missing, in the second verse:
"when you pass the black extension, imagine a ceremony just below the lids in your eyes / you are the subject eating walking..."
