NABOKOV WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT SCIENTIST
nabokov would have made a great scientist
all his precision and detail yet unknown
i am an observer - i see through every story
he’s analytical
and nothing else behaves like him
and i know what’s true
but i’m losing grip
on the romance that i search to break
and pick apart
to just unlock his mind
yeah, just unlock his mind
nabokov would have made a great scientist
breaking down the beauty in the smallest parts
words, scenes, and memories
boiled down to core and fact
i am a witness
i shoot myself with every line
the depth i find is bottomless
but nothing else can set me free
and i know what’s true
but i’m losing grip
on the romance that i search to break
and pick apart
to just unlock his mind
yeah, just unlock his mind
nabokov would have made a great scientist
all his precision and detail yet unknown
everything’s clear
everything falls in place
everything crumbles to facts
and that’s alright with me
