turning your orbit around

or... the utter enormity of the task

10.19.2006

a newish song

still no music for it, though.

Held up by Stilts

v.1

From quiet to loud

Ripped open like a rain cloud

That house is held up by stilts

Those flowers bloom and then wilt

v.2

Machinery roars downhill

Road graders scrape and kill

Metal clangs against the road

A strange and rhythmic morse code

chorus

You’ll either follow or you won’t

You either love me or you don’t

v.3

Plastic caps and aluminum cans

The detritus of modern man

Thrown from car windows into a ditch

Maybe we were just a glitch

bridge

You’ve got a real predilection for dereliction

I wince at its infliction

It’s an overwhelming collection of addictions

That perpetuates your convictions

-solo-

chorus

You’ll either follow or you won’t

You either love me or you don’t
