matthew parmenter - distracted lyrics

Loading...

the breath a fog september’s done
the sky now darkening for night has won
and time has ever been my foe
i’m losing every day i’m letting go

the years pass by and slope ahead
and here but half aware in dream i tread
with gaze cast outward from the now
lest i should bold behold this
furrowed brow

so distracted
bisecting my day
poorly acted
distracting the play
and there’s no merit in it
but to be

so i pretend the child has grown
enough to countenance what man has known
but with no chapters notes or spine
i cannot catalogue i can’t divine

the call goes out to old and young
come see the carnival the lute is strung
but they arrive are always there
and they away but prey still in the snare
so distracted
bisecting my day
poorly acted
distracting the play
and there’s no merit in it
but to be

i blame the circus side show clowns
i blame the advertisers’ verbs and nouns
i blame a female in her bed
i blame the primal thoughts inside my head

i blame the shadow on the ground
i blame the blame in me, blame all around
and when the venom finds it’s mark
i’ve poisoned everything the sky is dark

grasping
grasping at the corners
searching in the fog for something is there

reaching for the distant
straining for a rock a solid in air

grasping, no distraction
working, no distraction
for something is there
something is there
something is there
there
