the collection – the silence lyrics
another knot of dreams
they keep chewing up my sleep
and spitting out my whole work-week every morning
well this city is a sea
and its undertow grabbed me
and dragged me off into the deep without a warning
i’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head
where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt
and i can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said:
“if you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.”
and in the morning when i rise
every step’s a compromise:
motor fumes, and burning eyes, and drunken violence
through the city, tall as trees
hydrant rivers fill the street
and i can hear the birds and bees in the next apartment
i’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head
where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt
and i can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said:
“if you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.”
i’ve got my backpack and my tent
and a thumb pointing to heaven
and a couple bucks to spend if i get hungry
this land demands no rent
though the air i breathe is lent
and the sun is so quiet as it shines on me
i’m longing for the silence, a field to lay my head
where the engines and the sirens are no longer my debt
and i can finally hear my conscience, listen close to what it said:
“if you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it.”
if you don’t make your bed, you don’t have to lie in it
