lips of a child - matthew allred lyrics

Loading...

betrayed by a black gulf at the end of my desk
the wall folds, the night peers at my noondust face
my phone rang “unknown,” but i still answered it
a long barrel pencil; fine ink from a case

a carol seeps in from the near office park
seasons are shifting like a viewfinder toy
faster, it spins in the patented shape
suddenly flashing redemptive tolstoy

and the image of death is playfully wise
born of cliches like “twinkling eyes.”
those who behold it withhold thеir advice

and the man on the phonе made a promise of wealth
i gave him my faith and security code
asked after his family and felt the ground did shake
disasters eclipsed me—oh, lo and behold

and the terror of age is relentlessly kind
bringing us closer to the day we die
it’s medicine forced past the lips of a child
bringing us closer

- matthew allred lyrics
