lyrics

BLANKET

i never thought it much to run
i never had the means to hide
but after all that time has shown
i'd rather hide behind my eyes
i left it on the wall behind
another portrait in my mind
it was there i laid my blame
for you to walk beside my shame
it's all the same

i'll hold it close and keep it warm
and blanket all the lies you wore
cast to sea what we could be
it's all on you to forfeit me
taste the air, the fool's up there
cast your vote, the lepers wrote
a song to sing for everything, oh my

i never thought it much to run
i never had the means to hide
for every truth there was a pun
to dig its nails into my pride
i thought about the ways and means
and all the tunnels in my dreams
the way they always end the same
in a fog of frozen names
it's all a game

i'll hold it close and keep it warm
and blanket all the lies i wore
we dried the sea so we could see
it's all on you to conquer me
the fool's up there, he's everywhere
recast your vote, the angels wrote
a song to sing for everything, oh my

i never thought it much to run
i never had the means to hide...

-Summer 1999 & 12/4/15
