Construction & Destruction - Perimeter Lyrics

So this is June
So this is you
So sudden and soon
And your perimeter
Here
And here
And here

Now we know where I'm not
Don't we just know where I'm not
And some kind of chrysalis caught in the crux
Of a tree would know better its mind and its habits
And wouldn't you think that the pull
Of the magnetic north would be something
From which I could work off of
But even the True North is transient

I don't want to know, I don't want to know
I don't want to know, I don't want to know
If there're no edges to unfurl
If there's nothing of substance

Once I was young and indignant about intrusion
And maybe loved science and relished the act of fusion
And now I am young and given to fits of elocution
But coming to terms with the fact of
Constant elusion

The courses will force their way down from the mount
And into the bodies of water they seek
And nothing you do, no known ceremony
Will deter their ranks or lessen their speed

A step to the side isn't what I intended to take
But sometimes a force on the leash will unearth a stake

I don't want to know, I don't want to know
I don't want to know, I don't want to know
If there're no edges to unfurl
If there's nothing of substance
