lyrics

I. Up the Chain Hill

We spend our days
awakened to this world
to the drag of the red room floor
Weighed down

We arrive astray
with all our needs in tow
awash in fear and hope
Run aground

The drink is offered
like earth and spark
The cup is lifted
The chain locks to the cart

He blows the smoke
He sings his song
The jungle outside
They're ready to come in
The world is shifting
The room moves on
The thread is sewn up between us
They're ready to come in
They're ready to come in


II. The Operating Room

Prone but floating
the doctors are in
The pain is near but
the surgery begins

(It's not dark it's just not closer)
The dark is just the distance between the stars
(It's not dark it's the fear that shows her)
The dark is just the distance between ourselves

The cuts are made and the
incisions are deep
But something safeguards
between it and me

(She's the sphere and the sphere is not)
A smile upon the face she pretends to wear
(Like angels from a distant god)
meant just to cheer me and not for her


III. The Waiting Room

The mist light
or maybe it's just smoke
the dust alight
in the dry dusk air

The pillowed floor
the fabric rough but cool
I stare up at the ceiling for
some kind of sense of if or where

A lotus chair sits in front of me
throne for a sage but it's empty and
nothing here can ever hurt me
nothing here can ever hurt me

Whisper song of amenity
(we give you what you need)
it slinks around and envelops me
(when you need it not before)
Nothing here can ever hurt me but
(nothing here will ever hurt you but)
there's still work left to be done


IV. Out the Down Side

The song is loud and now we're headed down
with nothing but the things we will be without
That world is this world and this one is somehow mine
if I just knew some way to let myself live a life

The unseen scalpel
The malignant rationale

The maestro is singing
Love is just being
The maestro is singing
Love is a being
