Goodness Gracious (Rooster Dance) Whatever Comes Next
Goodness Gracious (Rooster Dance)
I wave the banner of a broken land. Who is the father of this rooster dance? I only stand for what I'm sure I can. These reprimands, we'll call a second chance. I wrestled in the dark with shame... though I never even knew it's name... it pinned me down and staked it's claim. It was a crutch, but now I get that much. Betrayal of a bastard brawl... I broke apart and fought you all. I break the cadence as they breach the walls. Besieged beneath the breeze of fall. Permeated in the toxic fumes... We wave white flags over fallen youths. Look no further for a path to truth. It was a crutch that kept you out of touch. and by now I get that much. We try... and then we always end up stuck... and out of touch. Hey kid, you better learn your role. You better find yourself some self control; but before you have to pay the toll. It isn't much. Come on, I'm in a rush. You've only got yourself to blame. You're hardly holding in this hold 'em game. It's time to straighten up and make the grade. Stay on the dock where there's no boat to rock. But it was all a bunch of soldier talk of pride. The summit's up to us to walk inside... where the costume washes off. Imbibe... of the wine known to the Gods... as Atman's song... I find compliance in my empty shoes. The scope has widened to a gaping view. I pray my guidance systems guide me true. The rain of violence is a startling view. What's the damage gonna cost in pain? What ever happened to appreciate? Who's gonna clean the mess that you create? It's like you never hear a word I say. I know you don't mean to betray; but wise... are the ones who move in faith. Don't cry... you don't have to be ashamed. But move in faith. |
