Dear listener
It seems we're tied up
And hunkered down
Nowhere to go
It's easier
To get mixed up when
On your own
But, let's take it slow
Made as a pair
We got divided
On the road
Wouldn't you say?
Most folks aver
That it's a lie told
To spare your heart
Ain't that the way?
That ain't the way
And if I stand down tomorrow
We had today
This thing we've got's
Been going on now
Two-minutes plus
Some kind of proud
It don't take a lot
To know me more than
My people do
One of a crowd
Never a crowd
And if you feel it's too quiet
I'll say it loud
But then I get
So tongue tied
It's happened, yet
This song won't play
Wearing a cape
But can't fly
Barely escape
The day-to-day
Altho I never have met you
Not flying blind
Real life is tattered, broken
And strangely kind
But as I look on another
You're on my mind
You were always on my mind
Another day
We'll take it all down
And fix it up
Just paint and clay

Streets and chalk, I swear
Crumbled wood and luck
Timing's off, just a hair
Tall grass fills the wounds
A department store, made for vaudeville, then the movies
The tracks that would carry us home
A parking lot, that once housed a congregation
But some things change
Jumped the start, no plan
Crosswinds rarely talk
Lacking heart, it began
To spin beyond control
The kind of thing saved for headlines, or the movies
A fairy-tale lack of all fear
Some words unsaid, hinting sunshine lasts forever
And then it rains
The motor runs
The wheels worn thin
A house burned down
A store appears
And tell me now
(Which way the wind blows)
Where you're from
(We've come a long way)
'Cause it's late and I don't know
Streets and chalk
The water makes us talk

The attitude's loud,
But your haircut speaks volumes
It's no good
Your good looks are sharp,
And they're telling me "Walk away,
Not your part"
The part that is keeping me
Away at night, gone for days
Something's wrong
And why can't I tell you?
Someone's gone
And why is it not you?
Seeking high ground
Because tragedy is moving in
As it should
It should be a trap,
But my legs are still under me
Holding fast
Faster I stand
With my head in my hand
Nothing's sure
Just men counting numbers
We've no cure
They've taken our numbers
Count one
It's nothing new
So count two
Just not with me
Now three
It's what you wanted

I had a dream last night
And you were there
In some public museum
You'd cut your hair
And we once knew each other
And we ran in again
And I asked for your new number
And I woke up
And the dream was a horror
We'd taken you
And they used your body
It's what we do
But I ran to follow
'cause I knew you then
What we just could not swallow
Was all of them
We came back to a bathroom
And I asked for peace
You were able to give it
And I woke up

Dave Linnenbank Berlin, Germany
Creates music (and #Bitwig) in Berlin. Studied film scoring, so instrumentals and electronics are in the mix. But the songs
got affected too, sporting short choruses and long moods. So let us bask in the afterglow of triumphs and defeats.
