Lyrics
SUBDIVIDE

There must be some explanation
for how the world keeps going on
Breaking up into tiny fractions
Spiraling inwards while coming undone
So tell me
Tell me

It's all simple division
Split one unit into two
Take the third and throw it away
What did it ever do for you?
But make you worry... you worry

Take this home and number the doors
Cleanse the commons with bleach and lye
Now it's just a tenement and nothing more
Simply subdivide
It's easy
Easy

Always closer, always approaching
Each step shorter than the last
Cast away those little orphans
It's simple division if you do this kind of the math

You can dice fractions of fractions
You can cut up a heart all you like
You can carry the one until the day you die
Packing boxes in boxes with boxes inside

If you ever feel like you're growing nowhere
Just hurry
Just hurry

Where are those little lost orphans,
those little pieces left behind?
Are they in pockets in closets in spare rooms in corners of houses
in this suburban subdivide?

Take this hand and close it
over your crooked faltering smile
Look in these eyes and transmit
your alien lullaby
Fading
Fading


You're always closer and approaching
but you shrink with every step
What do you do with those little orphans
that you cut off from the rest?

It's all simple division
Split one heart into to two
Take the third and throw it away
What did it ever do for you
but make you complete?
Complete

There must be some explanation
for how the world keeps going on
Breaking up into tiny fractions
Spiraling inwards while coming undone
So tell me
Tell me

Very artistic. I'm still trying to interpret the lyrics -- they're a bit mysterious.

I love your writing still, always a standout, so many elements that you seem to weave intuitively, I'm a sucker for the mysterious, and the subtlety of the dynamics here and how you acheive it is worth a study... So much of it really hits at an emotional level delivered through your lyric... So Good Peter... so good to see you here and hear you again

Nice work Peter. I detect a Pink Floyd influence here which no bad thing.
