Your instinct says somebody’s watching you
The blocks brush past as if painted from memory
I’m trying to relay the quiet this time,
Rationalizing the mask
Hold that thought, we’ve passed the message
Shot by shot, outlast the text on
Concrete tops, on past expenses,
Valued lessons, first impressions of earth
Flood the mind like nervous talk
Love designed for to make you walk
There really ain’t no right way, there really ain’t no right way
Lost sight, weeks of drought, tease and pout, chin up
There really ain’t no answer, there really ain’t no answer
Cinder block Cinderellas found slumped on the partition
Peace in each brief intermission, I hope
You’re peering out from under that mask
Your instinct says somebody’s watching you
The frames click by as if painted from memory
I been on three days at attention, hosting outdated traditions
Peaking suspicions, a witness is all I need
But I ain’t wishing (What you got to be hopeful about?)
Nothing (That sounds about right.)
Second skin shed fast and redefine
Who you think you are under that mask
Sort through your pockets
Before anyone asks any questions
This ain’t an ending
It’s just morning coming
