_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] I _ walk through the [C#] cloud on an X [B] and I feel no tension. _
All the buildings are blocking [F#] the wind. _
_ _ [B] It's late October. _ _
_ [F#] Round the corner it shoots out [C#]
again.
_ [B] Damn, Scotty, over.
_ [B]
Scuse me, _ _ _ _ Scuse me, it's [A] around. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Hold still, when the [F#]
ocean's speaking.
It's ringing for a while.
Light in your room, bright in your light on a [C#] hill.
Guess I'm knocking [B] on your window still.
I walk through the cloud on an [F#] X.
_ [B] _ _ Just [C#] for us fools, [B] a language for the shy.
[F#] You _ _ [B] don't have [C#] to say _ hello.
[F#] We'll look through the night.
_ Two things, grateful all the stuff and grossing, fleeting, bewildering.
And [A] then a feeling of stoke and we're rushing down the slope.
Do not [B] see it all the time because we're sliding the same speed.
The sense of safety preserved by the static distances between [A] us.
Sometimes I try to imagine a village hundreds of years [B] ago, but little changes during a lifetime.
Maybe the cobbler tries a new heel on a boot, crops are rotated, but nothing [A] changes how people are.
But they spend [B] their time feeling and thinking about the world is dying, the world [F#] is living. _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
There's something that I [C#] should do, [B] but I never know how.
[F#] _ _
Things I should say to _ you, [E] but it's blown all white out.
[B] _ In the night we have [F#] to share.
_ _ [B]
A little more of me. _ _ _
Imagine that I'll be [C#] somewhere _ [F#] new [B] and warm.
_ [B] _ I was asked to write a song about social media and I didn't want to.
Anyway, I'm pretty hooked.
So I don't [A] feel I'm in much of a position to critique it.
And self-critique is loaded for me anyway because I've done plenty of that.
But while I know that people can identify with it, get comfort from hearing someone else address themselves sternly,
I'm [D] also trying to get away from self [B]-regard in general.
Even though the unexamined life is not worth living, more opposing truths are everywhere.
Still training [A] to hold them, trying to look [B] out, leave the mirror out of it, see the tree and contemplate it,
and not question who or what I am in relation to the tree.
But I don't know what it means [E] yet that we're partially migrating into [D] a silent conversation
[A] that seems to be increasingly [B] hereditary and tribalism at once,
and maybe that's who we're racing [F#] now without a finish line.
I was going [B] to say that likely a few got good thinking done during the 17th century Dutch tulip craze,
and this is not so [C#] different that I've recently [F#] been hardened and [B] disappointed to learn
that the story was greatly exaggerated.
Anyway, we're crazy, but we're also not crazy.
We're [C#] complicated.
We want things to be [F#] simple.
[B] We're polarizing the canister.
We harden and then shrink and distort and amplify and shut down and then [F#] stretch some more.
Now you don't have to join [B] the drum circle and get all peace and love and ate ashgary,
and anyway, that only took a few months to turn into a bad [F#] scene, hard-run dystopia,
where [B] some people will rob you and you can't be too open, but the hippie sure had a point.
Empathy is good.
Lack [F#] of empathy is bad.
And now the [B] line is non-facts waiting to get in the conversation, they're longer and longer,
and some people can't be beat in an argument and we have to hold on to that hippie point harder.
Empathy is good.
Lack of [F#] empathy is bad.
Holy math says we're never not together. _ _ _ _ _
