I asked permission of a large group of people to say one word that meant a great deal to them. Those snippets create the word stream in the background.
lyrics
Word stream
Sweeping through
Once they get ahold of you
Can’t play both the fields
Tensing for the big reveal
Crack swipe
Now you’re gone
Lying through your teeth in song
Were there people here?
Or was the raja upping fear?
Comfort in integrity
Swear they’re not getting in me
But is the me the skin I’m in?
Because it’s stretching rather thin.
Chess piece. It’s your move.
Flip the game board to disprove
Dismounting to hypocrisy
Nodding yes to guarantee
Word stream
Grab your mat
A star is there to show where at
Castrate your mind to fear
Cause looking glass is nowhere near
Everywhere I spin and sail
Sirens sing to much avail.
Beauty once deep in my thoughts
Looks like my idea’s been bought.
Hi there. What’s your name?
Also here to play this game?
Looks like you’re just in time.
Oh where’d you go? Nevermind.
You’re just candy wrapper too.
I’ll keep glancing towards the moon.
Word stream
Scoff and shine
Pretend your words more worth than mine
Seat belt in its stand
You really showed who’s in command
Bubbles out your nose
Glisten bleak so apropos
Ice cream in my hand
Seems to sacrifice my plan
Dare I throw away
The only thing they’ll eat today?
Do I tuck the veil
Or slowly plan another trail?
Ears clogged out of spite
I think I will rest well tonight.
Handshake. Wish you well.
Don’t think I have the time to spell
Out my future for
The two-faced out upon the shore
So I’ll keep the mast away
Heading far at last today
Think I’ve won this one
At least until the next’s begun
Word stream
If I may
Trickles the birth and decay.
