Dignify

about

You know the band-aid is coming off, so pull it off fast, already!

lyrics

While you're laughing, wipe away the tears, lest you go blind.
Thanks for asking, but for all these years, I still can't unwind.
It's not the where, it's not the how, it's not the why.
It must be up there in the sky.

Let me down, and dignify the answer
Let me down, and dignify it all.

Incidentally, this is what I mean by crippling intention.
Bring it back now, can't you even try to take in all dimension?
A gentle breeze, a silent prayer, a knowing smile.
You must have known this all the while.


Insecurity, lack of any purity or pride.
How it use to be, back before the sanity went dry.


Come in closer, whisper in my ear the truth that must be told.
I'm on your side, but for all these years, the truth has turned to cold.
This one-way street, this empty load, this broken light.
This dark complexion turned to white.
