Physicist at a funeral (Godless thoughts on death)

from Stillbust - A few things we might agree on (A few things we might not) by Matt Records

about

The poetry of reality, can often be more beautiful than the stories we tell ourselves.

lyrics

What will you be, when you die?
Will you be immortalised?
In the memories of men?
or the stars that create them?

Draw a line, divide truth and belief.
Tell me which side gives and which side steals ?

Heres the man that made us all.
Why does he need all that gold.
Has a fit and kills us all.
Wheres his sense of self control?
Most things we have left behind.
Brutal things from ancient times.
There are those that wont forget.
All of those who claim to show,
Everything we can not know,
In explaining how we conquer death,
Are fleecing you your right to live,

Do whatever you want and harm none.

Understand that you’re not the only one.
That to fear is entirely natural,
as is everything that surrounds you.

Stars that expire leave you as the product.

Years mould the cultures that seek to inspire.
People created the morals that guide you,
Humans! Flesh and blood!
Chasing the truth is as noble as it is enlightening.
Ignorance is dangerous even when its comforting.

I hate the way that we’re meant to attribute everything that we love about the ones we do,

to the bad guy in a story with an unhealthy obsession of the paths we choose,
but what I hate more is that what we see is so much more poetic than what we make up.
Let’s try and turn our backs on all these ill thought gestures and add a little reasoning into our books.
I picture the energy that created their love for you

as never alone
timeless…immortal.
Slowly wiping chalk dust from our eyes

we can be sure that there’s one way out of here,
and if there is a purpose then you have it all to fear.
You’re like lambs to the slaughter and I’ve had it up to here.

Don’t misread the signs.
