Lyrics:

A funny pilgrim on a crazy crusade

A saucy chaucer, a sorry chapter mislaid

Whittled with an exacto knife

Plum right through my load bearing wall

I'm horrified now that i could do such a thing

But i thought i heard the singer

I've heard those chimes so many other times

But if i gave in,it had to of been

I whupped it out, and destroyed my selfish cocoon

Since i gave in, it had to of been

I'm not an optimist, i'm not a realist

I might be a subrealist, but i can't substantiate

It was bigger than me and i felt like a sick child

Dragged by a donkey, through the myrtle

Micah Johnson

So, the last line. "So I felt like a sick child, being dragged by a donkey, through the myrtle." The point being, the experience is beautiful, aromatic. But the circumstances, dire. Helpless acknowledgement of beauty both fleeting and destructive. My brother . . .
