lyrics

Beneath my tissue is a skeletal form
It's been dying since the day it was born
Though it's alone it never needed friends
A stoical creature 'til the end.

And it's known pleasure that's made its blood sing
Illuminating everything.
Oh, magnificent machine, or so it seems.
Open the door and let me in... out... in... out... in

In my garden I see the weeds bloom
They're not ugly, they testify to
The wonder that's always captivated me
The elegance of biology.

And I've known beauty that's brought me to my knees
Not an image, an abdominal squeeze.
Oh, passion can make me cry tears of joy and I know why:
It screams existence is not enough.
