I tried to create the poetic equivalent of the Theory of Relativity. Meaning I just sort of rhymed words and tried to keep it as ambiguous as possible with some sort of underlying current dealing with the cost of commitment. Believe it or not, this started as a possible love song to my wife (I scrapped that idea by line three as it expanded into deadling with commitment to Slightly Bigger Things). And I had no idea Einstein was going to be in the title until after I finished all the verses. I’m also torn between doing this as grindcore, or hardcore, or folk. So it’s either a Frank’s Enemy lyric or a Julio Rey lyric.

Einstein In The Act

Once I did anything I wanted
But I didn’t want anything
I could feel death remodeling
The space inside my eyes
What the hell brought you here
I didn’t want to accept anything
I need you when I see it
And I need you when I’m blind

Life is hard to live with you
And impossible to live without you
You’re the wind of my purpose
The battle I will die in singing
Every day is not enough to prove
That I will never be untrue
Every sin I sin shows me
How much I need you smiling

Now there is no sleep nor rest
My head hurts, I am depressed
Unseen hands are grappling
There’s no use in taking score
Something is in front of me
Where there was space in my eyes
Ih the space and time continuum
Look for the këy to the out door
