lyrics

who's the author of the lines around your eyes?
did they win a pulitzer prize?
or die unknown?

avid readers will note the subtleties,
the flow, and mysteries
written in ruts of your skin (of your skin)

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

future scientists will find your bones and read
an osteobiography
recorded in density

every clue they'll correlate
how you slept, what you ate
every injury inflicted on your frame

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

you will resurrect in a documentary
(with you) holding hands with lucy
with computer model imagery

and in their efforts to get you canonized
they'll recreate your guise
but miss the subtle
form and grace -
the gentle patchwork lines around your eyes

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

who wrote the lines
who wrote the lines around your eyes?

hard to decide
how much to attribute to time

hard to decide
how much to attribute to time
