Less Than You Think Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your mind's a machine
It's deadly and dull
It's never been still and its will
Has never been free
[Pre-Chorus]
Lightly tapping
A high-pitched drum
[Chorus]
The sun starts to shine
And you shiver at your soul
A fist so clear and climbing
Punches a hole
In the sky
So you can see
For yourself
If you don't believe me
There's so much less
To this than you think
[Verse 2]
It's almost gone
The night is dissolving
In a cup God lifts
To toast the lightning
Lightly tapping
It's high-pitched and it hums
[Chorus]
Your spine starts to shine
And you shiver at your soul
A fist so clear and climbing
Punches a hole
In the sky
So you can see
For yourself
If you don't believe me
There's so much less
To this than you think

I was rarely able to function for more than a few hours a day. For a lot of that record I was just t...
