lyrics

Waiting…
Waiting for the thaw.
Warm relief now winter’s over,
For skin that’s cold and raw.
Sunset...
Sunset stereo.
Vapor trails and Monet cloud banks--
Where did twelve years go?

Yo, Ezekiel!
Tell me what’s it
Gunna be.
Quit your talking.
Them bones walking or not?
Guess you ain’t go not time fore me.

Restless…
Restless, wide awake.
Same age now as when his mother passed on:
Wisdom from a tough break.

Yo, Ezekiel!
Tell me what should I expect?
Hear me callin,
When I fallen down?
Ain’t no chance I’m one of the elect!
Yo, Ezekiel!
Scratching notes on these Cold War streets,
Try to write it,
Try to fight it out.
Rearranging words on tattered sheets.

Naked and exposed
Exactly as you had proposed:
Strength is tested, ordeals composed.
Vulnerability exchanged,
Senses gorgeously deranged.
Are you catching what they throwing?
Are shrinking, are you growing?
Are you knowing how
They’re showing how they'll get the best of you?

Cynics…
Cynics boring me.
Callousness is safe and easy,
But safe is all you’ll be.

Yo, Ezekiel!
6 o’clock siren screeching out.
Where could we go,
Now my ego's shot?
Arrogance dressing up as doubt.
Yo, Ezekiel!
Crying vainly at the saints.
Now defenseless,
Sobbing senseless prays.
Need guidance, don’t need constraints.
Yo, Ezekiel!
Illuminations lying prone.
What’s it taking,
Since we’re breaking down?
Can’t pay ‘em back with what I own.
Yo, Ezekiel!
Does disappointment make you strong?
How the bold go,
When they’re told no more!
Best lessons learned from being wrong.
