Lyrics

The lake waves goodnight as I reflect as its surface does the capital city's lights
Fish in pond pondering which bait to bite tonight and which fishermen to prove inept
Forced to remove the hook from my lips
Tales of uncensored ventures
Sequestered by imagination and making believe while the sea
It's shore of its muddy banks
And the moon beams moonbeams through the stream to me
Just so I can see the dormant creatures masquerading as stage props
Cropped in the frame of vision
Envisioning futures pastimes
Like the last lines scribed alongside a voice over, a swan song sung to don the dawn's sun
With melodies of awakening
Taking on the lights, the sights, the browns, the blues, the greens, the reds
The sounds, the tunes, the speech and its impediments
A town so true of streets and its tenements
A ground so blue, so me and each of my sentiments, my sentiments, my sentiments
The water coddled me as a child
The slaughter bothered me as a child
The broader god learned me as a child
And I she as I lied and tried to sleep
The day of birth left womb sutured closed
Opposing the inclination to retreat
Concrete world unfurled like the proud flag of a lost land and disbanded youth
Coaxed into mischief
Lifting the nagging notion of combating emotions on stage
Before he'd come to understand the idea of the auditorium
Take it, leave it
Within the land and make believe seeing a side of life peers were weary of
Clearly just afraid to exit entirely for fear of missing curfew once again
Yet I once was in the realm of otherness
And became succumbed to its nothingness
And its nothingness' forthcoming wit, amidst the disappearance
It was this which taught me what ought be to fear less, yet
I return to this eternally burning eternity to unearth the seeds
Of an essence more fragrant than could be tamed
Just a boy wandering, pondering
Just a boy wandering, pondering
Wandering, pondering
An essence more fragrant than could be tamed
Just a boy wandering, pondering
The water coddled me as a child
The slaughter bothered me as a child
The broader god learned me as a child
And I she as I lied and tried to sleep
In unison doves cried for what lies beneath the wire that they'd perched upon
The morbid story of morgue and worry, torn and carried, scorned and worried, the family must be
But it was just me testing the penitence of mankind or man disassociated
As the experiment would prove, removed from the helplessness of others
Labeled the selfishness of others in the initial lab report
Yet as time would pass the report would court a different idea
See the life of one has passed and passed for its rebirth is inevitable
And if not then who's anyone to alter history
The mystery's awkward, sitting perched precariously on the street where I lied
The street where I lied, that passes by expecting acknowledgement
Yet I'd not desired being acknowledged yet
Desire the knowledge hence
This abolishment of a motive preference
And its subsequent hesitance, hesitance, hesitance
The water coddled me as a child
The slaughter bothered me as a child
The broader god learned me as a child
And I she as I lied and tried to sleep
The water coddled me as a child
The slaughter bothered me as a child
The broader god learned me as a child
And I she as I lied and tried to sleep
