The Ceasing Now |
| Tacit acquiescence quaintly burns till we acquire |
| A pride in all the work we have not done |
| Begging retired accusations we sickly string ourselves along |
| Rightly fighting for a future free from formless ire |
| How the desperate long to be enthralled |
| We bite the mouths off our emotions |
| And light the days on fire |
| Choking under gathering smoke we crawl |
| Through the fetid on and onning |
| Drifting in a mire |
| It helps to feel those brighter days are gone |
| Savor the power of revision |
| The hurt returns a liar |
| Mindful of a tedium prolonged |
| Wistful with a withering tongue |
| Grown and wrong |
| Surviving the close calls |
| While we’re always revising our roles |
| Seizing the ceasing now |
| As our aims miss our goals |
| We size up our downfalls |
| While we undress the pessimist’s pose |
| Our tattered yes and nos |
| It only matters that we chose |
| As the surgeon’s scalpel’s dulling the patient should inquire |
| If this instrument is worth its salt |
| Still he insists on this incision |
| The situation’s dire |
| Slicing out the faults right from wrong |
| Is there a chance this cancer still belongs |
| Sponge the inhibition keeps the host feeling too strong |
| Grown and wrong |
| Surviving the close calls |
| While we’re always revising our roles |
| Seizing the ceasing now |
| As our aims miss our goals |
| We size up our downfalls |
| While we undress the pessimist’s pose |
| Our tattered yes and nos |
| What matters |
| We’re surviving the close calls |
| While we’re always revising our roles |
| Seizing the ceasing now |
| As our aims miss our goals |
| We size up our downfalls |
| While we undress the pessimist’s pose |
| Our tattered yes and nos |
| It only matters that we chose |
