Grand Designs

A to b
Different degreesSo much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It's hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a whileLike a rare and precious metal
Beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble
To separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to
A lot of useless talkShapes and forms against the norm
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions
Is a mass production schemeSo much poison in power
The principles get left out
So much mind on the matter
The spirit gets forgotten aboutLike a righteous inspiration
Overlooked in haste
Like a teardrop in the ocean
A diamond in the waste
Some world views are spacious
And some are merely spacedAgainst the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension
With our wild kinetic dreamsCurves and lines of grand designs
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions
Is a mass production schemeAgainst the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension
With our wild kinetic dreams
