Lyrics
ALL COMPOSER’S NEW GIGS:
Doubt, lingering
Like new yesterdays
Hand-twisting nightshades, glaring:
A brown box, coffin for
The world’s thinnest music man
Keeper of the keys; harbinger
Of golden capabilities
Still unopened, knuckles bending
Sick harmonics on the first fret.
Showtime with yourself and
You’re not winning. All the world
A-rage in fear, chops misspent
All saviors gone as ghosts. You,
Alone, so small; time drapes the downbeat
Over a portrait of heroes disappearing,
Lost.
The future taunts the waking vision
Of an ancient soft-skinned infant
Who, with good reason, begins to cry.
