[Part I: Metanoia (Part 1) (0:00–1:38)]


[Verse 1]

Metanoia, reshaping the world

It can teach you and reprogram you

It can show you the flood that's trapped inside

This one's alive

Tale is breathing and she's listening

Kill the serpent, divide, disperse and grow

Into an oak

Silver lining on a black scale

Wicked hunter, on three hooves, he still rode

But where is the fourth?

You can climb there to your lofty perch

It can teach you the fairy tale of hurt

[Part II: Satchidananda (1:38–3:34)]


[Refrain]

Ooh, aah!


[Verse 2]

Mystic referee, don't look on me with scorn

I'm a child; I'm a lover being born

Satchidananda

Disregard the path I'm on


[Verse 3]

You can justify the action should you bless

My ambition and my indecisiveness

Satchidananda

Let me know that you exist


[Bridge]

Watch me tremble as I'm answering the phone

I am separate from everything you know


[Verse 5]

Mystic referee, I promise to return

Once I've given up and lessons have been learned

Satchidananda

You can watch my fire burn


[Spoken Segue]

"We were talking junk, right?"

"Yeah"

"Just before the show, this wild-eyed kid came up to the fence

He took one look at us, and he said…"

[Part III: Help Me, Drummer! (3:34–4:48)]


[Bridge]

Help me! Drummer!

Ticket! Yeah!

Help me! Drummer!

Ticket! Yeah!

Help me! Drummer!

Ticket! Yeah!

Help me! Drummer!

Ticket! Yeah!


[Refrain]

We didn't play his favorite song

Now he'll never come to another show

Now he'll never come to another show

Now he'll never come to another show

Now he'll never come to another show

Now he'll never come to another show

Now he'll never come to another show

[Part IV: Red in the Eyes of Everyone (4:48–6:39)]


[Verse 6]

Hospitals and woods confirm (Now he'll never come to another show, now he'll never come to another show)

Red in the eyes of everyone (Now he'll never come to another show, now he'll never come to another show)

Parasites and lovers scrape the meat from bones (Now he'll never come to another show)

Turned into jade and tiger's eye

Save me some dark hair over a face like hers

She'll help the rain come to a pour

Bathroom floor of stone and tiles broke in two

Warm where they touch her porcelain, timid skin

I'm careful to untie this rope

Wrapped in a knot, indifferent

Lion's foot unearthing all the things I've seen

But never truly understood

Rotten wood, from oceans that were never green

Crumbles beneath the canopy, secretly

(Let's pretend he never touched the sugar)

[Part V: Metanoia (Part 2) (6:39–9:44)]


[Instrumental]

[Part VI: Watching People Disappear (9:44–11:04)]


[Verse 7]

Tonight, under rose

You won't find another wheel to roll

When autumn winds appear

We wear these fears on our right

We just wants to be surreal, cause

All dressed in diamond image jeans

Mercury's found in old field

We miserable in love

And chance we walked right on in

Into the streets of the city, but


[Bridge]

Watching people disappear

Without reaching out

Years and years

You're left by yourself

On the wheel

[Part VII: For Carl Jung (11:04–13:47)]


[Instrumental Outro]
