21st Century Human

(albüm: Lasseter's Gold (Unreleased Demos) - 2017)

Just like Icarus gravity wouldn't contain his reach
Nor could he rest till all the stars were breached
Mere sinews of flesh that couldn't cease his dreams
Look out at he's a 21st century human

Like Prometheus flesh less clay was formed
To fetch and carry till storms went out and washed away
The shapes and movements of all the changing days
Look out it's the 21st century human

He's a 21st century human
Trying to uncover what he's done
To tie up the past
To control the present at last

Like Cyclops squinting down a one-way street
Steps through fallen arches
Where poverty speaks
Waits for movement till overthrow brings relief

Like Frances with the wolves new people seek light
Shining out from the headwater and the breast
Birth without pain invisible string through everything
It's the 21st century human

He's a 21st century human
A babbling unraveling new man
He has thrown off his mask
To control the present at last
Present and past present and past
