i had a dream that i was in my master's house under the table where he eats and he was holding up a morsel and demanding that i speak bc u must work if u will eat do the trick if u want the treat be glad yr master doesn't beat be thankful for a place to sleep i had a dream that i was pressed against the window of my office building that my superiors demanded some more flatness out of me or i could push right thru the sheet of glass that separated me out from the safety of my keep to take my chances on the street i had a dream that i was on the street, the raining glass was cutting into me me and another man, we hid for shelter underneath a tree and then he pulled his own tie loose he said i think you'll find some use a tourniquet or just a noose either way it's yrs to choose

ball & chain 03:05
you've fallen off of every tall thing u ever stood on you're tearing up yr knees and palms the sky's been attacking the ground since the beginning now whose side r u really on who's gonna hold u down, who's gonna carry u around you're acting like yr arms r good for more than clutching you're acting like u married the sun you're acting like if u could get high enough to touch it you'd ever have the courage to jump don't ever think that i'm trying to hold u back baby just trying to keep yr feet moving at the right pace if yr really such a feather on the wind baby then why'd u tether up to me in the first place if i left u to yr dreaming and yr wandering off and u found yrself over a ledge if my weight was the only thing holding u up i bet i wouldn't be too heavy then
3.
some wonders 03:07
i watch u as u sway in place the movement of a lion at a steadier pace a million men have died mistaking purpose for grace a reason, a calling there's no denying gold can be found amidst all the rubble that's laying around but who has the time to stop and survey the ground the stars r still falling they're all coming down tonight and falling around us they're all coming down tonight it's all a game of catch and release a version of perfection for a version of peace but it's been said that wonders never cease i was hoping to find some

holes 02:48
it's not all in yr courage or in answering the call it's all in where you're standing when the mortars start to fall they leave a hole its far too late in hindsight to retrieve what u have lost what looked like serendipity now feels like gaping jaws they tore a hole i would trade the whole damn revolution for a kiss none of this us right w/o u telling me it is there goes my whole world there it goes
5.
we should get something clear in the beginning this isn't giving up this isn't quitting watch all the prism light breaking and splitting watch all the lights converge right where you're sitting u r what u r and u know what u want isn't it fitting, isn't it apropos kind of like spitting, kind of like letting go watch all the falling, the landing and getting up the name that you're calling, isn't that sign enough the desperate walls that shake, the colors tesellate and i couldn't tell my left from my right red as deep as wine, blue as hot as fire aren't as bright as u when u catch the light
