The Other

I mean sure I'm interested but I don't know
It's not something that has words
It's not something that has feelings even
It's like an idea that isn't really formed yet
Like that moment before a yawn
Is it really going to happen
And you can't force it
And you can't stop it
And when you look around you can see it happening on the faces of your friends
And it starts that same sort of yawning in you
You know what I mean

And sure I want to be beautiful
And sure I want to be kind
But do you know what I really want
I want to be with people that accept me
People that are beautiful and kind and accepting
I want a family that is more than just a gene pool
You follow

This is our zeitgeist
This is youth
And we are all young
And we are all beautiful
And we are all
All of us
Pulled by the Will to become

And it's not gonna happen just yet
But it's starting
Like a first crack in an egg
That energy is there long before you see it
The cracking

We don't see the cracking
We are the cracking

This helicoptered shell
This geodesic dome
This satellite world
It's splitting in the birth

You gotta pick your Other well
