Ego
06:00

The brittle blueness of the sky
Outlined by the black of the windowpanes
He clicks the title of the page
The seething din that plays inside this glass cage
(Explaining )
It’s his ego
No silence
Still hungers
Qualifications lent to qualms
Yeah, I’ve met a few before like that
Invectives masquerade as psalms
We could always have a little chat
('Course we go way back)
It’s this ego
Not silent
And hungers
(Issue rejoinder
Outline the purpose
That masks the fear that this is pointless
A tide that numbs
Yet pushes paces
The screams that distort all our faces)
And bend us all down
And now our country is the ground
The sky was lost who knows when
And we don’t get far
Caught like beetles in a jar
We see through the glass
But we’d never guess that we were trapped
One great hand drawn
From purple dawn
Press down broad-palmed
Expunge the response from
All our lungs
Bite off our tongues
And it all goes numb
And it all succumbs
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego
To an ego

Walk With Me

See the light
At the far end of the pier
The broken beams
Against the seas that roil their seams
The passersby
We know them by their stares
Reflected in their eyes
The broken light
Scattered and scared
But we rise
Ans we rise
And we rise
And we rise
So just
Walk with me
You can
walk with me
Just
Walk with me
You can
walk with me
With our wayward steps
That catch rivets and seams
Rope and weight
Blood and hate against our enemies
We’ve all this ballast
That sinks us to our knees
With the dead past
Bringing us back to our feet
And we rise
And we rise
And we rise
And we rise
Up on our feet
To fall again
Sing it back to me
Sing it back to me again
Again
Again
Again
So c'mon
You can walk with me
Just walk beside me you can
You can walk with me
Just walk beside me you can
You can walk with me
Just walk beside me you can
You can walk with me
Just walk beside me you can
