《A Poem》歌词

[00:00:00] A Poem (一首诗) - La Dispute

[00:00:10] Third time writing you a letter getting darker

[00:00:17] I'm getting worse and worse

[00:00:23] I had a reason for the writing

[00:00:27] But trying to exorcise my demons didn't work

[00:00:34] To try to rid me of

[00:00:37] The worry and to purge you out of wonder

[00:00:42] For the future and the hurt

[00:00:45] I wrote a poem

[00:00:48] I'm increasingly aware I've been painting things in gray

[00:00:54] I'm increasingly alarmed by the pain

[00:01:00] I'm increasingly alive to every cloud up in the sky

[00:01:06] I'm increasingly afraid it's going to rain

[00:01:12] See lately I've hated me for over-playing pain

[00:01:17] For always pointing fingers out at everyone but

[00:01:22] Who in fact is guilty and for picking at my scabs

[00:01:28] Like they could never break but they can and

[00:01:32] They will and I'll spill like a leak in the basement

[00:01:39] A drunk in the night choir just slur all those

[00:01:44] Words to make deadbeat that sweet old refrain

[00:01:49] Self-inflicting my pain and therein lies the real

[00:01:54] Shame I heard when they were

[00:01:57] Picking through the rubble finding limbs

[00:02:00] They sang hymns but Now what of what I sing

[00:02:07] The worry the wonder the shortness of days

[00:02:13] The replacement for purpose

[00:02:15] The things swept away by

[00:02:18] The worry the wonder my slightness of frame

[00:02:24] The replacements for feeling

[00:02:28] The casual lay

[00:02:29] And the worst of the wildlife wears clothes and can pray and

[00:02:36] The worry the wonder for three meals a day

[00:02:43] Only death unimpeded not slowing it's pace

[00:02:48] Brings that petty old worry and wonder away
