We can't savour anything's complexity
When degrees are above or below the extremities
Laying stone after stone with questionable intentions
Conviction and appeal will lead to fascination
But saying something loud does not make it true

LYRICS

The jig is up, it doesn't mean you'll stop
The jig is up, but you've got more balls to drop
The jig is up, all your lifeblood is drying up
The jig is up, but you've got more room in your pawn shop

You're selling something that was never yours to sell
A guiding map that leads to a heaven dressed as hell
To this we agree, you believe what you sell
There's a way to a mission that comes with only my condition

The jig is up, it doesn't mean you'll stop
The jig is up, but you've got more balls to drop
The jig is up, all your lifeblood is drying up

The jig is up, but you've got more room in your pawn shop
The jig is up, it doesn't mean you'll stop
The jig is up, but you've got more balls to drop
The jig is up, all your lifeblood is drying up

The jig is up, but you've got more room in your pawn shop
The jig is up

We can't save our anything's complexity
When degrees are above or below the extremities

The Jig Is Up

Lyrics:

I just want to find my way back home
But my eyes won’t adjust to all this darkness
And it’s really scary…

In my old and weathered hand 
I hold this red string that just seems to keep on going
But it’s leading me somewhere

In this house I’ve always been 
All these strange things started happening
I found a new room I had never seen.
Now I know this is for you…

I’ve seen things no living man should see
But it has only made me certain that we’re on to something
Really special… 

I’ll do my best I’ll give it all I’ve got
But it is still not sure that will ever be enough
And it will kill me slowly….

In this house I’ve always been 
All these strange things started happening
I found a new room I had never seen.

I’ll ask for a thousand clues
And you will answer “I’m right in front of you”. 
I can’t protect the days to come - or what’s already been done. 

Then I hear myself say - that what I say won’t matter
Cause in any case I’ll be there for you
At any rate my heart will beat for you
There’s no use trying to rationalize 
Heavens hiding through your eyes.

We all have a demon on at least one of our shoulders. This is a little serenade to mine.

Demon

An ode to that disruptive individual that always seemed to find his or her way to our summer camps...
