Tip Of My Tongue |
There’s an oasis in the heat of the day |
There’s a fire in the chill of night |
A turnabout in circumstance |
Makes each a hell in its own right |
I’ve been boxed-in in the lowlands, in the canyons that think |
I’ve been pushed to the brink of the precipice and dared not to blink |
I’ve been confounded in the whirlwind of what-if's and dreams |
I’ve been burned by the turning of the wind back upon my own flames |
Knock the scales from my eyes |
Knock the words from my lungs |
I want to cry out |
It’s on the tip of my tongue |
I’ve seen through the walls of this kingdom of dust |
Felt the crucial revelation |
But the broad streets of the heart and the day-to-day |
Meet at a blind intersection |
I don’t want to be lonely, I don’t want to feel pain |
I don’t want to draw straws with the sons of Cain |
You can take it as a prayer if you’ll remember my name |
You can take it as the penance of a profane saint |
Knock the scales from my eyes |
Knock the words from my lungs |
I want to cry out |
It’s on the tip of my tongue |
Knock the scales from my eyes |
Knock the words from my lungs |
I want to cry out |
It’s on the tip of my tongue |
There’s an oasis in the heat of the day |
There’s fire in the chill of night |
And when I know them both, I’ll know your love |
I will feel it in the twilight |
Oh, as circumstance comes crashing through my walls like a train |
Or like a chorus from the mountains of the ocean floor |
Like the wind-burst of birdwings taking flight in a hard rain |
Or like a mad dog on the far side of Dante’s door |
Knock the scales from my eyes |
Knock the words from my lungs |
I want to cry out |
It’s on the tip of my tongue |
Knock the scales from my eyes |
Knock the words from my lungs |
I want to cry out |
It’s on the tip of my tongue |
