lyrics

Chapter 93: The Castaway

As my body's buoyed
So my soul does sink --
Beheld the primal device!

In the open ocean,
I'm the center stage --
Like the sun, castaway.

And I never knew
What a concentrated
Mass of self rests in me always.

Do I seem a little crazy?
Heaven never speaks with reason,
And I could never surmise
How to speak with reason.

I'm frail in body,
But I've held the weight
Of God on my undisguised soul!

And I'm here before you
As a Titan stands --
Terrorize all rationality.

Do I seem a little crazy?
Heaven never speaks with reason,
And I could never surmise
How to speak with reason.
