[Intro]



[Verse 1]
           
It's not the e

       
nergy reeling
             
Nor the lines 

         
in your face
           
Nor the clouds

         
 on the ceilin

g
           
Nor the clouds

         
 in the space

           
It's not the p

       
hone on the ta

ble
             
Nor the bed in

    
 the earth
           
Nor the bed in

    
 the stable
           
Nor your stabl

   
e words

           
It's not the f

   
ormless being
             
Nor the cry in

     
 the air
           
Nor the boy I'

   
m seeing
           
With her long 

      
black hair

           
It’s not the o

    
pen weaving
             
Nor the furnac

   
e glow
           
Nor the blood 

          
of your bleedi

ng
           
As you try to 

    
let go


[Chorus]

It's not the r

oom

Not beginning

Not the crowd

Not winning

Not the planet

 not spinning

Not a ruse, no

t heat

Not the fire l

apping up the 

creek

Not food, not 

to eat


[Verse 2]
           
Not the meat o

        
f your thigh
             
Nor your spine

    
 tattoo
           
Nor your shimm

     
ery eye
           
Nor the wet of

     
 the dew

           
It's not the w

       
arm illusion
             
Nor the crack 

       
in the plate
           
Nor the breath

        
 of confusion
           
Nor the starkn

        
ess of slate


[Chorus]

It's not the r

oom

Not beginning

Not the crowd

Not winning

Not the planet

 not spinning

Not a ruse, no

t heat

Not the fire l

apping up the 

creek

Not food, not 

to eat


[Verse 3]
           
Not what you r

        
eally wanted
             
Nor the mess i

      
n your purse
           
Nor the bed th

        
at is haunted
           
With the blank

        
et of thirst
           
It's not the h

        
unger revealin

g
             
Nor the ricoch

          
et in the cave
           
Nor the hand t

        
hat is healing
           
Nor the namele

    
ss grave


[Chorus]

It's not the r

oom

Not beginning

Not the crowd

Not winning

Not the planet

 not spinning

Not a ruse, no

t heat

Not the fire l

apping up the 

creek

Not food, not 

to eat


Not to die

Not dying

Not to laugh

Not lying

Not the vacant

 wilderness vy

ing


Not the room

Not beginning

Not the crowd

Not winning

Not the planet

 not spinning
