Distance |
You wanted an effigy of me so true it bleeded |
Each hair a filament of glass formed while heated |
Assumed you’d see bright blooms and fruit trees |
With the root things weeded |
What your new scene needed |
So that’s what we did |
What was unclean was played and sung |
Then framed and hung till lame and numb |
And then repeated |
'Cause that’s when the fame will come |
And the game is won |
And your name is rung in every ear like a secret |
I gotta keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there to listen to this nonsense |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there |
Now I’m pushing past thirty |
If I bow out as the years close in |
Abandon my sound man and band and them |
I’ll give no blushing curtsey |
To the proud shouts of close kin |
I ground it into ground and then some friends |
Just drop a dusty curtain on the loud crowd when the show ends |
And end the whole thing where no men found me |
I’m so fucking thirsty |
In a cold cloud only of my own |
And lonely worsens, surrounds me |
I gotta keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there to listen to this nonsense |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there |
Men and women might yet quote his modicum of the truth |
But never will they get right close to Jonathan Avram Wolf |
'Cause I gotta keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there to listen to this nonsense |
Keep my distance to withstand the silence of you missing |
When you’re not there |
