lirik lagu the slip - tinderbox
[verse 1]
it’s a sidewalk symphony/roadside suite
it’s the trash~bag canopies on eldert st
it’s the blue hum broadcast through a common radio
voices, singing, hard~times
rumors of creation
[verse 2]
in trusting the impersonal much sacredness is lost
most enlist, and thus have missed the kiss extracted from the dust
and i’ve listened since my patience began and it glistens in the distance
standing in the footprint where i found my lover lost
[chorus]
though, it makes me tremble
all these thoughts that i assеmble fall like droplets in an ocеan
waves surging
yet balanced like the tides
[hook]
and mine is for the taking, every note that i am shaking
falls like waves all around you
oh, what colors have you sought
mhh, from the demons of the world?
[verse 4]
segregated rhythms on the bayou banks
the pearls of injustice
the way the blacksmith pounds the heated rod
patience, the hammer knows
[bridge]
thrice you have rescued me from falling grace; once when i was a beggar and you were the rain on my face
once when i was crippled and you carried me
and once when the blindness of others taught me how to see
[verse 5]
staring at the green that surrounds my pupils, leaving bullet holes in the glass
the glass i was trained to see myself through
through two~dimensional bullet holes
i remember walking from the market to the park
streetlights fl!ckered, and your eyes grew dark
paint me a picture, darling
and i’ll put you in it
[instrumental break / breakdown]
[verse 6]
cybernetic surfboards
the concrete turns to prison yards
the corporate mind is pointing towards the capitalizing off ignorance
indifference, exploiting our inheritance
lightning over the motel in sioux falls, south dakota
the watchman checks a fuse with his stoic hair and blue~green eyes
more energy than we know how to use
[hook]
so, it doesn’t matter how many mirrors you had to shatter on your way to get here
oh, what colors have you bought?
we’re not here to k!ll ourselves
[chorus]
though, it makes me tremble
all these thoughts that i assemble fall like droplets in an ocean
waves surging
yet balanced like the tides
[outro]
wider than a river and deeper still
the wounds of cruelty will heal themselves, i know they will
slow changes
and gathering ourselves
