lyrics

Being is a balancing act

a melting pot of behaviours

Babbling on

In Babylon

like you’re battling the maker


Maybe, straddling hate inside of a mirror.

A manifestation of

The white saviour

Who demands you need a cure

from the three year old imagination

Inner child run rampant

With bountiful fascinations

Whose panache about creation

weaves her armour

excises the wrath of bellowing roars

behind bars

Like boisterous baristas

Belching orders


Breathe.

A truculent defiance

From giants sweltering with their bias

Muddling for an alliance

To the succulent core


You ever act like you enjoy risking your life?

Find an audience

an industry

One for day

One for night

You ever fall in love with the things you are afraid of?

You admire the skill

The will some keep from

Questioning their morality

It’s okay…

Amusement runs deep

Like lingering grief

...your parent’s beliefs.

Birth the need to be performative

To share

To exploit

Such a balancing act

You ever parade your pain freely down main street?

Face beat, masked in drunk

Walk on water

Strut

out of touch

with the made-up world


Have you ever questioned yourself?

Judge your own desire to play pretend

Wing your eyes wider

Make them think that you’re blind

Forget that your mind is plagued by the wise.


You ever dance with Wesakechak?

Tumble over your buoyant heels

After too many bad shots

You ever steal a sweater in the morning?

Lie to yourself

After the fourth day of yearning

Only to make plans with your girlfriends again...
