lyrics

Part I:

Christ was a hornet inside this head,
Stung to mention more than said,
Wrung around, common ground, hung sound, just layed down
Again and again,
Again and again

I'm glad you shrugged when I've been unsure,
Your punch is like a down comforter
Hibernate, gravitate, step, sway, guess away,
Again and again,
Again and again

Continue sleeping on a rented pillow,
Parent's home now vaguely an idea
Canned laugh, brass tacs, Pass the hat, I miss the past,
Again and again,
Again and again


Part II:

A father is a hard thing to compass,
Thunder is a quiet stretch to listen,
A mother is a wire sculpture,
A cog is a moving hill,

No siblings to pawn life off on to,
Only child's a Vermeer painting,
A cactus has perennial appeal,
A disciple is your mother's robe fit tightly,

Cousin is frustrated with the lord,
Cried in the airport's duty free store,
Grandparents are rocking chairs,
Perpetual motion machines rusting together alone,

When the breeze dies down I'll settle in,
Thought of it over and over again,
But family is a hard thing to gather,
So I'd rather sit and watch the leaves stir more
