Let me learn by paradox that

i've got to fall

if I wanna walk

that I hear a voice that doesn't talk

that didn't start and never stops



(pre chorus)

A touch of folly that it may be

but it should come as no suprise

to find that fools are counted wise

and blind men have the sharpest eyes

the truth can wear a jokes disguise



(chorus)

Cuz big is the new small

death is the new birth

back is forth and up is down and the last are really first

you're goin' the wrong way

if you follow the right signs

just know you know nothing at all

cuz big is the new small



Where the light has been erased the shadow behind

can show you the shape

it doesn't reveal but it indicates

we learn about light from the darkened space
