Barest Degree

I am gone, can't waste more time

I said, not quite joking

The fire has gone the big trees stand

The underground is smoking



Remember nothing you've been told

Means anything to me

And everything you hold is mine

In the barest degree



I walked up to the park

The lion rock was weeping

I walked on to the grave

The lizard king was sleeping



Remember nothing you've been told...



The day's draw long, too long to count

Cushioned by the wasting

Restless age, the rusted temple

A place of my own making



No matter what else you've been told

It's still all up to me

And everything you own, is mine

In the barest degree, in the barest degree
