lyrics

i only know in part
i see the cat or not
beating or still my heart
entangled like a knot

like puzzling reflections
in a mirror

i'm on an odyssey
like those in front of me
mapping territory
the word is not the thing

like puzzling reflections
in a mirror

one step left and
one step left and you will see
it fits
it fits squarely
it fits squarely through the ring
viewpoint
viewpoint changes
viewpoint changes everything
through a
through a prism
through a prism darkly
