lyrics

A Theory

Two knots - symmetrical
But look - it's a trefoil
Can't cut - this thing apart
Can't pull - these strings

One knot - tied years ago
Why not - oh it's chiral
Don't look - it's different
Than what - you thought

And you would know me better,
as threads sewn, cut, and tied.
Now ripped just like the tether,
reused, or scrapped, or dyed.

I learned - what's trivial
It means - it's possible
Untie - a knot that's been
Tied tight - by someone else

And you'll- forget about it
And I'll - forget about it
Not yet - forget about it
I can't - forget

And you would know me better,
as threads sewn, cut, and tied.
Now ripped just like the tether,
reused, or scrapped, or dyed.

All of my trigonometry
couldn't measure complexity
or face reflections.
The rest just doesn’t get mentioned.
Didn’t match your geometry
Or your view of this history.
Forget reflection.
The past doesn’t get (mentioned).

And you'll- forget about it
And I'll - forget about it
Not yet - forget about it
I can't - forget
