WHY? - This Ole King lyrics

Untethered layers so thin as paper
Let them all, like vapor
Dissipate, integrate when they hit air

(One thing)

We laid in the parking lot watched the stars
And the shooting stars we know who we are
From beyond to the veiled
Intention between our cells

One thing, there is no other
Only this, there is no other this one thing
There is no other

All my desire to what I aspire
When I expire down dirtward all my hunger
In fire burn my anger
And collapse my stature always now
No before after only this, there is no other
Up skyward goes my water hang my want cloud
In the atmosphere

One thing, there is no other
Only this, there is no other this one thing
There is no other

Just layers of this one thing

Living in slo-mo daily follow natural law

Cordon off sorrow
Tourniquet until it falls off

Beyond fences facing westward
Into diminishing light
But at the start of spring
Like the robins sing
"This ole king will be rising
A new love blooms on the
Long notes of old horns"
