Just angst wrapped in words, I suppose...hopefully, it transcends a single situation |
I was walking one night to the river when I heard your footsteps on the dock I turned and saw you call me thither so I followed as you went behind a rock. I searched for your dimly-lit form but we were lost in the fog I knew i'd never find you in the coming storm so I sat down on a rotted log. Wrapped up in discord, my ears are defunct I used to want this, now it's just getting me funked Wrapped up in discord, my senses are reeling your soul is entwined with another on my ceiling. The storm ripped right through me And when it was over I stood alone Your non-existent ears couldn't hear my plea I was so disoriented, I couldn't find my way home. I wandered the dismal, cloudy shores looking for a clue of your existence Hard to look when lies escape from my pores Excessive and blinding, yet my only subsistence. Wrapped up in discord, I don't know where you are From what i've gathered, you sure have gone far Wrapped up in discord, i'm just playing a lonely tune If it didn't remind me of someone, i'd serenade the moon. I came to a house, all scattered and in pieces After pausing a second, I sat in the middle The sun and moon made a full rotation, stars as their nieces And when the new day dawned, I hadn't solved the riddle. So I turned from the beach and faced toward the city Lights flickering warmly in the cold winter night I met a sea-crab, who told me I didn't have time to be pithy He said I should just keep walking and forget about sight. Wrapped up in discord, all meanings converging While travelling the beach i've seen one too many mornings Wrapped up in discord, the story's not over Just the night, now's the time to rest in the clover. |
