lyrics

Meta Incognita

Set off to find the Last Kings of Thule
With your Hemishpherium
But you never really do

He heard of them from visiting whalers
Sailed to find the Inuit
From the Isle of Baffin the shaman sailed
With 38 souls to continuing

He gave them all a bird's-eye view
Setting out for unknown shores
Found a way to feel the moon
To find a way back home

We tell the tale again until
We see ourselves in stars and snow
Blowing hard or standing still
Being watchful as we go

Landmarks link to form a story
The story forms your very mind
Navigate your territory
Free you from your purgatory

It's The Dreaming, the Everywhen
It's in the past and has no end

And if you're lost, feel the moon above
Meta Incognita
As childhood navigation defeats amnesia

As the world moves backward past you and your boat
All the names and places in sequence

And so you must be watchful as you go
Your life is like a trail and the trail is home

Found a way to feel the moon
To find a way back home

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
