about

In the kitchen with the door slid open.

lyrics

Carry the harpoon from the boat,
For the old man is spent,
‘Cause he did what he was.
And with his grey-haired list of fairytales,
In spite of what they are,
They made him a way to a new start.

Show her the path for she is lost,
Hear Alice weep,
‘Cause she is what she does.
And in her white-skinned style she gave herself,
Some very good advice,
But it gave her away to a new find.

Do the canons ring in your ears?
Do they fire from afar, or from near?
Do they tell you what’s wrong with them?
Or do they tell you what’s wrong within?
Does there have to be all this doubt?
That everyone does better without.
And if they knock at your door right then,
Set it aside, let them come in.

Carry the name tag for yourself.
See it weigh us down,
When we are what we do.
