WHY? - One Mississippi lyrics

To not focus on the limb that's missing
With the damn phantom thing itching
Is a difficult mission but listen:

With much of the whole hole intact
In this great anarchic expanse
It mostly comes down to a gang of ants
Swarming on the shadow
Of a stain of a drop of blood

I know i've got to submit to
Whatever it is in control

I know stop throwing shadow
On shadow and let it all go

I know you say, "One Mississippi"

January February March
Since you've gone away
Constantly rising from
And falling into flame
My body knows more than
I can form with my brain

And with a roar from the deepest core cave
Cut a coil of those old spoiled ways

I know i've got to submit to
Whatever it is in control

I know stop throwing shadow
On shadow and let it all go

I know it goes, "One Mississippi
One Mississippi one Mississippi"
