lyrics: |
  I wanna give you something to believe in
  Hmm give you something to believe in
  Something nice, something pretty, something beautiful
  If only it could be that simple

  Quiet your mind
  Quiet your mind
  Quiet your mind and listen

  Do you believe that consciousness is, like, an accident?
  A sprinkle on a donut that's been sitting out all day
  You can call me old fashioned
  But I think there's more to life than that
  A music it to it
  That my fingers cannot seem to play

  Whisper in your dreams
  Memory forgotten
  Saying you are worthy of being happy

  I wanna give you something to believe in
  Hmm give you something to believe in
  Something nice, something pretty, something beautiful
  If only it could be that simple

  Quiet your mind
  Quiet your mind
  Quiet your mind and listen
  You, the magic is in you

First chapter of [*US*](/albums/us/), the “we” turn after *I*’s relational “u.” It's addressed outward, an offer rather than a lecture: something nice, something pretty, something beautiful, if only belief were that easy to hand someone.

The middle asks plainly whether consciousness is just an accident, *a sprinkle on a donut that's been sitting out all day*. Nothing gets argued. There's only old-fashioned faith that there's music to it, a pattern the speaker's own fingers can't quite play yet.

Then the last line turns the camera: *you, the magic is in you*. Quiet your mind and listen isn't a shutdown, it's making room.
