More of Less

from Within and Around by Garrett Anderson

/

lyrics

She found a forest of philosophy
It gives her clarity
She’s got well-spoken dead folks’ shoulders to stand on

She can cite the great minds aligned with what it takes
To keep her certain of her claims
For a good night’s sleep
For a good morning wake

But I’ve been out in the wood alone
Searching for a grassy knoll
Or a flower for home
Or a stream to find the flow

But I’ve had no such luck
No I just trudge through decomposing muck
And get stuck by the brambles and the burrs

But I pick myself up and I dust myself off
A little worse for the wear But a little less scared

What do I forget
That keeps me coming back
For more of less?
What ain’t I trying to get
That keeps me coming back
For more of less ?

It’s like a belt tightening around your chest
Or falling into emptiness
Thank God I’ve been wrong about my last breath

She found a forest of philosophy
And brings me twigs and leaves
For when I’m in the mood to read
