A Poem (一首诗) - La Dispute[00:00:00]
Third time writing you a letter getting darker[00:00:10]
I'm getting worse and worse[00:00:17]
I had a reason for the writing[00:00:23]
But trying to exorcise my demons didn't work[00:00:27]
To try to rid me of[00:00:34]
The worry and to purge you out of wonder[00:00:37]
For the future and the hurt[00:00:42]
I wrote a poem[00:00:45]
I'm increasingly aware I've been painting things in gray[00:00:48]
I'm increasingly alarmed by the pain[00:00:54]
I'm increasingly alive to every cloud up in the sky[00:01:00]
I'm increasingly afraid it's going to rain[00:01:06]
See lately I've hated me for over-playing pain[00:01:12]
For always pointing fingers out at everyone but[00:01:17]
Who in fact is guilty and for picking at my scabs[00:01:22]
Like they could never break but they can and[00:01:28]
They will and I'll spill like a leak in the basement[00:01:32]
A drunk in the night choir just slur all those[00:01:39]
Words to make deadbeat that sweet old refrain[00:01:44]
Self-inflicting my pain and therein lies the real[00:01:49]
Shame I heard when they were[00:01:54]
Picking through the rubble finding limbs[00:01:57]
They sang hymns but Now what of what I sing[00:02:00]
The worry the wonder the shortness of days[00:02:07]
The replacement for purpose[00:02:13]
The things swept away by[00:02:15]
The worry the wonder my slightness of frame[00:02:18]
The replacements for feeling[00:02:24]
The casual lay[00:02:28]
And the worst of the wildlife wears clothes and can pray and[00:02:29]
The worry the wonder for three meals a day[00:02:36]
Only death unimpeded not slowing it's pace[00:02:43]
Brings that petty old worry and wonder away[00:02:48]
