lyrics

YET YOU WAIT..


Wind raging
Collective breath held
Dropped From the heavens
Down with a thud
Feet on dry land
Then speeding homeward
Back to captivity
Life under the heel of your own choices
The tyranny of domesticity
Every ounce accounted for
Every second someone else’s
Always on the clock
In the sick bay
At panic stations
The unwanted guest at your own party
At each other’s throats
Life through the window

The slow turning of the wheel
The tightening of the vice
When work is your only indulgence
Exercise your debauchery
Patience the virtue
Sacrifice the aim

And yet you wait
And yet you wait ..

You must relearn
The art of tongue biting
Pride swallowing
Point scoring
Passivity
Meekness
The rising damp of resentment
Door slamming
Finger jabbing
Blood boiling
Oh the parts we play
The lies we tell

Tied by the chord umbilical
Tethered, aligned, destined to follow the same star
Through burning deserts and howling gales
Thick fog and dark forests
You are both the hostage and the captor.
