(TEXT from "The Ink in the Well" video:
.
If man could see the perils
And diseases
That he elbows each day he
Walks a mile
.
Nature here in sight of the sea
taking advantage of me
To dart upon me and sting me
because I have dared to open my
Mouth
to sing it all.
.
I got up nine times to admire
the moon....
.
"Things are not that simple"
.
The light of sense goes out
but with a flash that has
REVEALED
the INVISIBLE WORLD)
