lyrics

Words put in like simple gears
Speaking the spokes that
Lift the meaning through the ears
Giving, taking, abstract and real
Wearing down the wheels

Feed the impulse, draw the well
But overflowing
Springs the spoken to a yell
Trip and stumble, slog back to land
To the sea of sand

And when the drought is here
You’re out of wine and you’re out of beer
The mind, a dust cloud, whirling thought
A gust shrouded and fought
With every ounce I’ve got

Till the barren, seed the ground
And vocalize to raise an army of sound
Trees grin cracking sidewalk paths
Growth always comes back

Say them over and again
To will the words to
Bring the invocation in
(…)

And when the icy rain
Meets the face of God in the burning flame
The smoke all rises, fills the room and skies
And all the fumes exhale and spread
