boustrophedon - raison d'etre lyrics

[intro]
no life

that’s that
some strawberry morning
with a lightning crack

[verse 1]
i stuck it out for a good, long year
and there was one and then the other
and a snub about the weather
but as carnival h+rns
cast large upon the wall
i thought maybe they’ve come to torch me
and extort me for my gall
no offense holds my detention
maybe there’s a reason for it all

[chorus 1]
a reason of faith
my reason i’ve said
a reason of will
it’s my reason still
hey, it’s my reason still

[verse 2]
like a disinterested lover
who’s stayed in bed too long
i’ve taught all that i could think in here
and drank all that i had wrought
set upon a bed of nails
my solace, immobility
i lurch outside the crypt
stuck in another matrimony
i’ve consecrated every sight
but there’s one thing you should see (and i’ve seen)
[chorus 2]
a reason of faith
my reason i’ve said
a reason of will
it’s my reason still
hey, it’s my reason still

[bridge]
an egress
an intention
what good is here, what good is now?
a startled flock
at the suggestion

[chorus 3]
a test of faith
a ways that i’ve bled
i’ve had my fill
it’s my reason still
hey, it’s my reason still

[outro]
i’m done with verbal shrugs
karmic overextensions
this city’s too busy playing cops and robbers
but i know
i know the exit
