lyrics

The trial is almost over.
The jury’s hands are tied.
This sudden awkward sorrow
will help the crowd decide.

All talk. Tongue Tied. Too old.

We toe the line
to forget what might happen
and tuck the long tail under

We miss the mark.
The perspective is slanted.
And every time it’s fixed
the leaves are scattered

These streets are almost tranquil.
The pavement’s warm and dry.
Three cheers for upward mobile.
Deny. Defy. Decry.

All talk. Tongue tied. Too old

We toe the line
to forget what just happened,
and tuck the long tail under.

We missed the mark.
The perspective is slanted,
but every time it’s fixed the leaves are scattered.

Locked in. Picked over.
This shake can’t define your resolve

This din kicks it over.
If not for not trying we’d never be back again.
