08 Differential Engines
Em
V1
Modern times
Find a toe hold
Clinging fingers to the wall
Information
Stimulation
Mind decides within it all
V2
Higher climes
I am so cold
I can't feel my fingers or toes
No sensation
Low respiration
Am I really here at all?
CH
Ahh - State machine, you
Ahh - Differential engine
V3
God has died with information
Intellect has pried him down
from his high gloried station
and put him in the ground
V4
I decide from the tokens
say goodbye to say hello
lovers of signs consult the stones
Eye the tiger, break the bones
<CH>
<V4>
Pulled and tidal, what you know
as you go from pole to pole
Take care for contradictions
Compare, contrast, lose information
World at your throat
Don't let it sink your boat
Keep the mind afloat
Think it through
Think it through

Liner Notes: This song topic was inspired by a docu I recently watched - Happy:
"Your nervous system is a differential engine. It looks at differences. It looks at contrasts.
That's all it cares about. It integrates information by integrating a lot of little differences in things"
Also - "Eye the Tiger" refers to Tiger's Eye, a stone claimed to have magical properties
