about

Second track on the album Saint of the Open Opera (2010)

lyrics

Hearing Voices
Nathan Brown and Ginnifer Brown, 2008

It’s a mystery
In the black of the unknown universe
Swim the starless sea
To the shore of dawn

In our history
She’s the saint of the open opera
Voices vi’lently
When the shame is gone

Throwing music
On the roof of a rust rain rehearsal
Trending patterns
In the clouds of a dust cotton sky
Turning rhyming
Into reasons to fly

Fearful symmetry
Darkened stain like the able Abelard
Falling as if free
From the height of Truth

Like Geometry
In the proof of the evil everyman
Mirror matches me
In the book of Ruth

Blowing fuses
With the cost of the cross crown commercial
Bending matters
In the quick of the lost questions why
Burning rhyming
Into reasons to cry

Beside an open flower
Arose the Eiffel Tower
The breeze was funnel cakes and old decay
And in the elevator
Forgot our then & later
Threw all our prayers away

Throwing music
On the roof of a rust rain rehearsal
Trending patterns
In the clouds of a dust cotton sky
Turning rhyming
Into reasons to fly
