lyrics

softly spoken, underneath
subtle language
subtlety
colors on the breeze, just colors on the breeze
and of all of the bones in all of the seas

painted fingers, painted keys
paint memories haunting
of all of the men
of all of the foreign
she picked the one person

comes the rising
comes the time
from the knees
the slaves to the weary spine
what nonsense is coming? it don’t feel so hot
of all of the answers
no question’s for naught?

under the threat of sacred pace
of feelings that haven’t greatly changed
of doing something new
not new in the sense that it’s never been seen or done
just new in the sense that it’s
fresh to one’s core
maybe only ever softly spoken before
it’s just new
it’s new
it’s new
it’s new
but it’s not new
it’s a bore
tedious
nothing more than recurring
the tide’s always returning
the same old tracks idly blurring

tips grow green
veins won’t bleed
trunks may brown
skin may fade
unhidden constants yearn to shake, rock ‘n roll, remain and change
shake :: rock ‘n roll :: remain :: change
and of all of the dancers,
whose story will play?
