lyrics

801 possible uses for every injury a day produces
and leaves as a bruise
Build up a callous, take it as ballast
Nurse a grudge just as you choose
Make a list to keep track
Look straight up from flat on your back
Close your eyes and let it fade to black

801 possible reasons to let obligations fall to pieces
and crash to the floor
Always too many to focus on any
Finishing only gets you more
Why not start with a nap?
Let’s go sleep on a plan of attack
Save your strength ‘cause they keep coming back

I know I don’t have the answers
I know nothing at all
I’ve grown awfully fond of throwing shit at the wall
We’re told we should have the answers
When we’ve barely begun
Don’t guess where the wheel will land before it’s been spun

801 possible uses for all the offences and abuses
we need to endure
Chips for your shoulder, Sisyphean boulders
fuel for a bridge that should be burned
Make a list to keep track
Look straight up from flat on your back
Close your eyes and let it fade to black

Talk about going out on a high note. I know this group continues under an equally-impressive creative outlet, but the Polymaths close out their run with an astoundingly complete and compelling last effort. I love this so much. Patrick Book
