Lyrics

The dawn put the mist in my lungs The stillness of morning has come Singing a note The roughness my hands had to learn The silence my vigilance earned Singing a note The middle of the road Like scraping the middle of the barrel I'm told "Be thankful." The heat of the earth's still the same The dirt where I'd written my name Singing a note The desperate plea of a house "Sorry, we're knocking you down" Singing a note A warbling bird Or my voice I think no one has heard I'm told "Be thankful." I've got an excellent page from my terrible days Spent taking back beautiful words No matter how poignant I get I just couldn't Justify the hurt A measure of time Or something more saccharine, written in rhyme I'm told "Be thankful."
