Riley Lake - Geometry and theology lyrics

[Ludwig Wittgenstein] A dog cannot lie, neither can he be sincere A dog may be expecting his master to come Why can't he be expecting him to come next Wednesday? Is it because he doesn't have language? If a lion could speak, we would not be able to understand what he said Why do I say such a thing? [Students] "If we could understand him, I shouldn't think we'd have too much trouble with a lion.." "We could get an interpreter." [Wittgenstein] Do you mean for me or for the lion? Yes, yes, w-we could get an interpreter What possible use could that be? To imagine a language is to imagine a form of life It's what we do and who we are that gives meaning to our words I can't understand a lion's language because I don't know what his world is like! How can I know the world a lion inhabits?! [Verse 1] Boiled the elements down into the axioms Mistook a fax for remedial tediums It seems Ezekiel speaks to some My mind was hazy and numb And left hand gripped a clump of palladium Saw the beast with the wings and the talons The simple answer but it felt out of balance Bad news like a blue screen of d**h Besides the point, but which hue seems best? Blessed With every album my head grows bigger It's beyond my n***a love each girl on twitter Nonetheless, I nominate myself as tribute Should the submarine flood, we would surely be fish food I can seem to speak around it If I could only hit the nail on the head I'll read this fan mail when I'm dead It's time to enlist in the service It's time to struggle with purpose For too long I've been the opposite of sanguine It's time to an*lyze the language I think I got god's answering machine... again I wanna growl right here I felt it in my bones, deep from the grave I haven't seen it yet, but I'll know it on a day [America] I've been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can't remember your name Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la... [Verse 2] I'll keep conducting these autistic symphonies These sentences have sentenced me Like I didn't have the sense to sense the mere The presence grows weird Doesn't make sense but I don't fear, not a damn thing I live like a man who's already dead Like I had a motorcycle but my name is Zed (I'll be missed), said another clumsy alchemist Like he just learned predicate calculus The existential quantifier, a backwards EX My rap career is a cataloging of defects Copy edited by Ryan Seacrest Like he must be new to this Milo doesn't exude hubris, chuuch Like he must be new to this Milo doesn't exude hubris [Al Swearengen as played by Ian McShane] Pain or damage don't end the world Or despair, or f**ing beatings The world ends when you're dead Until then... give some back
