about

filking about Patrick Rothfuss' "Kingkiller Chronicle". We could all learn a little bit from my favorite character, Auri.

lyrics

the world was wise enough
to know itself, brave enough
to be itself
and wild enough to change

The answers that it holds
diferent sizes different shapes
none quite right
but give it so much weight

for the slow regard of silent things
is better carried on air
blowing moist,
through the Underthing

the world it has it's Way
and if it strays off the path
nothing perfect
nothing beautiful nothing true


She knew the Underthing
like she knew the world's true shape
full of magic
simply for magic's sake

this world it knows its shape
it tells her in the wind,
it knows
true names, even if they're hidden

in the true way of things
those things they find their names
even if
the thing is to shy to reveal it

He he would be here soon
sweet and shatterd, brave and kind
roughly fit,
but meshed with the design


They were everything they ought to be
nothing else, no corner out of place
seek the way of things
the names are on the wind

An-swers important but not easy
take the time, do things the proper way
you'll find the world
a quite uncommon pleasant place


first set yourself
to rights and then your house,
and then
your corner of the sky

After that you hope
the world runs itself
for a while
A great gear-watch of proper fit

Full of answers true
of love, and of heartlight
it was beautiful
proper turning in delight


They were everything they ought to be
nothing else, no corner out of place
seek the way of things
the names are on the wind

An-swers important but not easy
take the time, do things the proper way
you'll find the world
a quite uncommon pleasant place

you'll find the world
a quite uncommon pleasant place
