Praxis

So you sweat your whole life out
Looking for something you found
In the city you moved to
(You moved slow with me)

I don't think
A change of pace
Can change a person

So you dive into
An uncertain ocean current
So you dive into
The vacuum inside your head

(You dive into your head
I'll pretend this wait is over
Overhead you've slipped into
The deep end, the seabed.)

You've developed such a strong sense of self
You should spend more time
With those books on action and praxis

I've tried to spell this out
But you're always pre-occupied
You still insist you're just getting by

Was this weight always on your shoulders?
Was this weight always on your shoulders?

You dive into your head
I'll pretend this wait is over
Overhead you've slipped into
The deep end, the seabed

So you sweat your whole life out
Looking for something you found
In the city you moved to
(You moved slow with me)

I don't think
A change of pace
Can change a person

So you dive into
An uncertain ocean current
So you dive into
The vacuum inside your head
