skittish - due lyrics

Loading...

i heard there’s a rhythm to all living things
a time signature swinging us through our days
in a 13/8 scheme, i’m unique but often off beat

but down round the belt, so solid so sure, thumping their bibles in a perfect 4/4
sometimes i wish my convictions
were stronger in stance
than a tempo too awkward to dance

i said, “hey, i’ve never been in time with the traffic or the tide but i’m due.”

i’m in the back, with a cynical smile
the sounds of the psalms ricocheting off the walls
i said, “how was your talk?”
she said, “it helps mе feel comforted
connected, and lovеd.”
so i packed up my ugliness and i sank, the beast sank, we sank out the door
down into the snowy night. where i made
an angel for her

now i know of a teacup twirling through sp+ce
i know of a monster at the bottom of a lake
i know a ghost who still balks at the
thought of a treaty
in the bout of doubt versus faith
i said, “hey, i’ve never been right a whole day in my life but i’m due.”

slaying the clouds
their carcass in flight
are heavenly spears
of sunlight

just down the river, is the one that i love
but freedom is options, and i got none
cause i met a girl who was soft and was white
i said, “are you an angel?”
and she stretched out a smile
i smelled her real strong and was numb
for a night and was gone

her toes curled a grip over the carved stone ledge
she said, “stop me if you love me.”
and her knees started to bend
i gave a good reach, all i got was a
thread now she’s gone
cause snow angels melt in the morning

i said, “hey, i’ve never loved like they sing of in song but i’m due.”
