lyrics

Immaterial Girl

I can see you from across the room
But you're not really there
I guess you can say you live in your own world
But your favorite place is nowhere

I know you feel like an immaterial girl
But we live in a material world
I know you feel like an immaterial girl
But we live in a material world

Who cares if there's an afterlife
If you don't get to live in the first place?
And if there isn't, and you only live once
Wouldn't it be sad to see it go to waste?

You can dream about heaven or nirvana
Or read every ancient scripture
And lose sleep over it the next world
But do you see the bigger picture?

I know you feel like an immaterial girl
But but we live in a material world

I think you're really deep
Your bottomless chasm mind, infinite
But I don't want to fall forever
Just do me a favor and get with it

You have so much to offer
To the reality you transcended
But no one can hear your words of wisdom
If you leave them un-presented

I know you feel like an immaterial girl
But we live in a material world
I know you feel like an immaterial girl
But we live in a material world
