Strange New Element - Low Water

He invented the something that led to the else

When his books got too heavy, he discovered a shelf

He’s thinking too clearly

He’s taking command

He separates compounds so he understands

But he did not repent, love

And he did not invent this love

Or the strange new element that it’s become

He’s testing his theory, he’s taking a stand

I’m holding my breath while he’s holding her hand

It’s like a walk after midnight through November snow

There are some simple equations that he’ll never know

He’s testing his theory, he’s taking a stand

I’m holding my breath while he’s holding her hand

It’s like a walk after midnight through November snow

There are some simple equations that he’ll never know

But he did not repent, love
