lyrics

Shout down a street
through a thicket of forms
Trace line over face
definition is worn
and it hurts me
and it shuts me
up
until now
never thought I could work
with the Guardians of Peace
standing by with a smirk
No Running, No Fighting,
Can you Prove It?
I cannot
Stop dreaming it
this is not sleep
With a lock on a door
and those boots on these feet
It ain't over
but no thing moves

Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key

Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key

Same street again
like we're way back when
one would reach the end
when we started with ten
and ninety watch from balconies and
sigh
n away responsibility
not able to respond (civilly)
No Running, No Fighting (back)
I'm Done
with this town
I am Done with all towns
Spectator Misery
stuck in both scene and crowd
and the Silence makes
the Noise seem small

Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key

Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key

Then it's straight back
to being confused and scared
of Straights, strangers,
such flakey friends
I have felt too much,
not ready for
enough
with this lie
that inertia is peace
broadcast it daily while
no-one dares speak
well it bores me
and it opens me
up
to all new ways
up to any way
of being femme, free, happy,
surviving the day
and who knows..
every one's a start

Cotton and Silk armor eyes
on one knee
but the hands chained behind
still be holding a key
x3

Cotton and Silk moving faster
all needs
with the hands unchained
fist holding a key
