(pours) A FLOW TOO WIDE FOR THE NECK... (too wide) EVERYTHING RUSHES TOWARD THE NARROWING— DREAMS, TERRORS, NAMELESS FIGURES, WHAT PRECEDES THE “I”... (before the ego) THEN THE FILTER...

(dresses) IT NAMES... (names) IT LIES TO SURVIVE... (lies) [PRE-CHORUS] WHAT ARRIVES IS VASTER THAN LANGUAGE... (vaster) WHAT COMES OUT IS ALREADY A REDUCTION... (reduction) THE FILTER MISTAKES ITSELF FOR THE SOURCE... (false origin) [CHORUS] THE FUNNEL... (funnel) EVERYTHING DESCENDS... (descends) NOTHING PASSES THROUGH INTACT...
