Complicit |
I was on the sidewalk |
And you were in a dream |
You said you couldn’t stand it these days |
Your sensitivity |
The city felt oppressive |
The heat and the noise |
And even at home you felt every unspoken voice |
I don’t know how |
But I tell you you’ll be fine |
And I set the table, and you pour the wine |
You always have been capable |
Always have been kind |
It isn’t really your fault |
Just the tenor of the times |
You got a job and lost it |
And they never told you why |
And you can’t seem to get past it |
This ordinary lie |
And they’re saying this summer |
Is the worst it’s ever been |
With the radio on, and they’re talking |
Another shooting, floods creeping in the lowlands |
And everybody’s shouting |
And I just hold your hand |
And I say nothing, I say nothing at all |
I don’t think my voice matters really after all |
I was raised to hear the curlews |
I was raised to notice light |
And I watch the little swallows |
Delicate in their flight |
I trail my hand down through the water |
Of the familiar riverside |
For hours in such silence I lay beside |
Terrified, for knowing in my time |
For all the parts per million |
For unstoppable design |
How can you get over knowing all you know? |
All the facts and the figures you learned years ago |
I moved back to the city |
I lost myself in you |
Or in some kind of fiction |
Or in some kind of truth |
I let myself get cynical |
I felt cold and bruised |
And the facts never changed |
And time only moves |
And somewhere above the tree line |
Silent just like you |
The river never froze in |
And footsteps break through |
And somehow in my heart |
Am I supposed to make do |
With the fragments of the stars |
The blue-white streetlights let through? |
All the birds not calling |
All the hot winds blow |
I took your picture in the sunset |
Smiling in the shadow |
You and I, we are complicit |
You and I were never blind |
Now we’re gonna live with it, our open eyes |
