You know you're like a god to me?
Never there at all.
Know why the fire burns in me?
Or why the snow falls?
Why must everything come down
to boring made up trash?
Isn't it enough to just
experience this glorious mess?
Even when the lights are off
our heads fill with dark,
I know that there's nothing out there,
which don't mean there's no spark
Sure it's chaos but it's ours.
get your hands off,
put your stories down.
Understanding not obedience,
you've done enough harm.

"Chaos is a song about who has a right to claim ownership of the world we live in. Our thoughts on the subject will probably be clear from the title :)... We had a blast writing and recording this one, and Matamatiks did an ace job on it after."
