lyrics

A solitary walker
through tulieries
thought aloud, the sound traveled off
for centuries.
At the time, the world was comprised
of a system that could only criticise.
The body leaves, the spirit stays,
and judgment lasts but for a day.
Breeding insecurity:
It’s not romantic to be organic.

The threads of my ability
are laid out like a tapestry.
The strings that get away from me
are colors that I’ll never see.
But measuring success
in comparisons and tests
is a devilish painful trade
for the thoughtful things you’ve made.

Are opinions equal
across the board?
Who decides who stays alive?
Who swings the sword?
If I’m told that I’ve failed to provide
a description for what cannot be described
I'll deliver something anyway,
the best attempts of yesterday;
drafting up a world and
sketching portraits to preserve it.

If I walk where I am drawn,
if I work until I’m gone,
know I will be fulfilled.
But for now it falls to you
and I have done all I can do;
you’re on board or you’re off.
If you decide I don’t belong
and all the birds reject my song
then I’ll find a different moon.
