those that can't be named
are the closest thing
in the pre-malone era,
it took us a lot more time
to point things out
then we row our
pathetic little boat,
slowly,
to the grand promised new land
it's been weeks
and we notice about
how good we are at
asking questions
demanding answers
noticing errors
and living with it
congratulations,
we survive heaven
sekarang kita bisa mulai membangun
sekarang yang bisa kita lakukan
hanyalah membangun
bangun rumah
bangun negara
bangun tidur
bangun jaringan sampai ke pelosok
biar bisa apa-apa kalau ada apa-apa
tutup hape lepas headset
dengar nyanyian sangkakala menjerit
tak henti-henti sepanjang waktu
"in sleep, in confusion
in the depths of shame"
count all the good deeds we have done
name it one by one
and to those things we can't name,
those that are closest to us,
present those as pointless prayer
those that can't be named
