Perpendicular Lines

from Empty House by Peter Hazen

/

lyrics

the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below are Looking Down at their phones
and nobody sees them at all

Oh the World has gotten Very Strange
I no longer recognize most of the things people say to me
Oh so many seem to have no sense of self
Without a Purpose, they're hoarding material things in search of wealth;
we've forgotten The Source of Things

and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below are Looking Down at their phones
and nobody notices at all

Oh the World has gotten Very Strange
so much stranger than I ever remember it being before
Oh but maybe it's always been this way
Maybe we chose This Path before we were born

but the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below that just Look Down at their phones
they can't see The Picture at all

I can feel a change comin'
I believe a change is comin'
I can feel a change comin'
There has to be a change comin';
The Wheel still spins around...

but the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
but The People below that just Look Down at their phones
they can't see The Picture at all

and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
and The Image revealed is a Miraculous Field;
it's the greatest creation of all

and the Sky is filled with Perpendicular Lines all the time, now
and The Image revealed is a Magnetic Field;
it's the greatest creation of all
