Parade Music - Home, Pt. 1
It didn't force you back home
All brittle and bone
Just to break you or keep you from harm
But with your shoe on the neck
Of your own Sunday's best
It can keep at the length of an arm
Between the grey underfoot
And the vial of black soot
Masquerading it's way through your teeth
Likened now one more time
To your rhythm and rhyme
That push down every word underneath
This is a home
As far as you know
So turn all the lights out
Let yourself go
These are just words now
Just let them go
And I'd hate to be bold
But from what I've been told
You've been stooped worse than this on your own
And will your body be bricks
When this tower of sticks
Turns to dust or becomes overgrown?
Over so-so stubborn streets
Where the rainmakers beat
To the creeps setting solace to stone
For what room could you sweep
Wicker curls two-timed sweet
When the lax in your lustre is shown
This is a home
As far as you know
So turn all the lights out
Let yourself go
These are just words now
Just let them go
