lyrics

he was the man who accomplished nothing
and every day at an infinite pace
he would walk in place
he would awake each morning
to go to the place
and do the things that never get done
and every evening he would come home
to lift and set and begin to talk
and walk in place some more
there were people he loved
but they mostly went unseen
and others he wanted to love
but could not as it would seem
at night he would dream
of music and streams
and dirt that clung to clothes
then he'd wake feeling
his life was stealing away
in a cadence of stonethrows
