Patterns Lyrics

[00:19.69] Zena, you've squared your toes
[00:28.98] But your family nose hangs around
[00:38.97] You're still a ballerina, everybody knows
[00:48.75] But your feet are on the ground
[00:59.60] But as the years go by and points comply
[01:06.23] With ever more relief
[01:13.34] Then patterns in repeat can begin
[01:23.17] To have your children, your flock of birds
[01:32.99] Your branch among the wood
[01:42.89] You'll try to tell them, but you're lost for words
[01:52.21] 'Cause it's so absurd, how good
[02:03.50] And as those years go by, they'll look upon you kindly like a friend
[02:16.86] A pattern in repeat
[02:21.64] And never ends
[02:34.19] Pulled for meaning, I arched my back
[02:43.50] And then from the black, you were born
[02:53.74] Forward leaning at first, abstract
[03:03.00] You soon contract into form
[03:13.06] And now, the time leaps by and starts to fly
[03:19.89] And only then can I see
[03:26.97] That we're patterns in repeat, and we'll always be
[03:44.50] Hm
[03:54.15] Hm
[04:03.80] Hm
[04:12.91]
