From the legions who are marching on the road which never ends
There are some of us who stray off to the side
Down the road which forks and bends
In the name of independence, in the name of other truths
Abandoning the temples and the shrines
In the name of our youth
A pointed remark that gets under your skin like a splinter
Can work through the veins and permanently lodge in the brain
I wouldn’t want something I said, to hurt you and mess up your head
And so just for you I have written this song without words

The drizzle that dampens every crevice
The grime that soils each dream
This nation that’s forged its own shackles
The red brick that’s swallowed the green
It’s no place for one of such beauty
The poison will soon reach your heart
They’ll scuffle your shine ’til it’s blackenned
Come take your chances with me
The one who soothes your ego when you’re not feeling yourself
Is tugging on your conscience when you’re feeling someone else
You may say that she’s beneath you when you’re feeling ten feet tall
But the one you treat like dirt is there to catch you when you fall

My sparkle having ochred, dried brittle and vanished underfoot
I hide beneath the eiderdown stirring only to fan the embers of the soot
Saying said and doing done
Now is the silence and I hide beneath the snow
