lyrics

First quarter I came to class enthusiastic,
Learning new ideas, allowing interest to brew in all topics.
I could feel my mind absorbing the knowledge.
Reading of Marx, Freud, and Darwin.
I felt immortalized in my thoughts.

Silence stood.
Before winter fell,
My insight to beauty froze.
This change is sabotage.

Second quarter continues.
I contemplate my loss,
Going to class, I struggle to find interest.
Math is empty, beauty is said to exist within it.
But I no longer strive to find it.
I know there is potential in me.
Yet, I no longer feel it.

Like Icarus, I succumbed to the sun.
The temperature would rise, with each day’s routine.
Math, programming, and musical philosophy.
And my wings as inspiration would melt away.
But I won’t drown.
