6. "Some Instrument"

Close your eyes, you little kids
and open up your ears to this

Some instrument
singing unthought thoughts
in the distance
never loud enough

You know it's only been 5,000 years
since we gathered up our throng
and drifted here

This beat could be slower than
the drift of a continent
but we had no globe
nor did we know
what key it's in

Just some instrument
singing unthought thoughts
in the distance
never loud enough

It's all we heard

(a soft echo of some other thing)

all we heard was the echo
of some other thing
that caught our mind and never let go
reminding us we can't make that tone
by the end though, it got us to seek
another piece of the wreckage
of everything we will never know
