Life Before Aesthetics - Denison Witmer

I’ve got more important things

Than shiny diamond rings

And modern furniture

Life before aesthetics was

A nail hole in a wall

A borrowed comforter

Now I wait until the sound

As if I never drowned in my addition

I’m not saying that it’s right

But waking through the night I felt it coming

And it crossed my heart

When did all this start

Stand together, fall apart

And it crossed my heart

Hear the oceans as they sing

The mountains and the spring

And all it means to me

Life before aesthetics is

A mindset that imparts impossibilities

Still I waste the chance to give

As if I’ve never lived throughout deletion (?)

I’m not telling you it’s right

But waking through the night

I felt it happen

And it crossed my heart

When did all this start

Fall together, stand apart

And it crossed my heart

And it crossed my heart

I’ve got more important things

Than shiny diamond rings

And modern furniture

When did all this start

Life before aesthetics was

A nail hole in a wall

A borrowed comforter

Stand together, fall apart

Hear the oceans as they sing

The mountains and the spring

And all it means to me

And it crossed my heart

Life before aesthetics is

A mindset that imparts impossibilities
