Praxis - Prawn

So you sweat your whole life out

Looking for something you found

In the city you moved to

(You moved slow with me)

I don’t think

A change of pace

Can change a person

So you dive into

An uncertain ocean current

So you dive into

The vacuum inside your head

(You dive into your head

I’ll pretend this wait is over

Overhead you’ve slipped into

The deep end, the seabed.)

You’ve developed such a strong sense of self

You should spend more time

With those books on action and praxis

I’ve tried to spell this out

But you’re always pre-occupied

You still insist you’re just getting by

Was this weight always on your shoulders?

Was this weight always on your shoulders?

You dive into your head

I’ll pretend this wait is over

Overhead you’ve slipped into

The deep end, the seabed

So you sweat your whole life out

Looking for something you found

In the city you moved to

(You moved slow with me)

I don’t think

A change of pace

Can change a person

So you dive into

An uncertain ocean current

So you dive into

The vacuum inside your head
