about

This track was inspired by a Wallace Stevens poem.

lyrics

WALLACE

The world was quiet
The house was calm
No flicker came from the TV
Silence stretched on sweetly
Divine
Wanna try sometime?

The hot was quiet
The word was calm
It fluttered open like a look
Sentence structure hook
It’s wide
Wanna step inside?

The work was quiet
The horn was calm
The tempo pulsed upon the page
Electrified the brain
A spark
To ignite the heart

The heart was quiet
The worth was calm
The marks and lines and shapes adorn
Truer meaning forms
A light
Fuels a summer night

The world was quiet
The house was calm
The landscape soared across the way
Taken to some place
Away
From the somber day

The now was quiet
The real was calm
It was united on all fronts
Excited by all fonts
Surprise
Life before your eyes
