Break It Down - Tony Levin

So it goes

When science keeps disproving things that everybody knows

Got to find a place to hide your faith

build a thicker wall

Deeper in

it takes you to a darker place where doubts and shouts begin

Got to try to solve the mysteries

the theory of it all

Break it down break it down

the fundamental physics of the thing is what we try to find

Break it down break it down

try to see what lurks behind

We’ve adored

those kits and bits of soldering a circuit board

The heat, the smell awakes in us

connection to the core

Makes us laugh

the flash and splash of bringing up a photograph

see the silver oxide work for us

revealing ever more

(ch:)

Break it down break it down

the fundamental physics of the thing is what we try to find

Break it down break it down

try to see what hides behind

Break it down break it down

elemental building blocks are there to move around

Break it down break it down

look and see what we have found

Far above, where we look to find reflections of our deepest love

there’s no need to subdivide the heart

or to tear it apart, break it down

Space and time

a captivating jungle gym for every boy to climb

the thrill’s about discovering

an answer for the day

Not their trip

the passion to examine one’s relationship

that’s a game for someone else to play

a chromosome away
