Bit of a Will Hoge inspiration here. VERY rushed, week - this was about an hour of work, soup to nuts, writing and recording, and the lyrics are fairly incomprehensible. But there might be enough meat on these bones to revisit.
lyrics
there’s a vein running through this mine
From the center of the earth as you go
You can trace all the pain you feel
All the way to where the roots start to show
But you don’t wanna be known
As the seed that can’t be sown
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know
When you were young you couldn’t leave it behind
and now you couldn’t find a single drop
Once you couldn’t get this whole machine in motion
Now you couldn’t slow the spinning top
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know
There’s no more mystery in counting what the years might have cost
You gotta listen to the rhythm of the memories you lost
from the heart of the sun
To the dark side of the moon
they’re playing a song
Only you can hear the tune
In the wide open space
Where the heart can never go
If it’s all just the same
I think I’d rather not know
