The Labored Gait of Encumbered Legs

from Hapax Legomena by Pete Davis

/

lyrics

Up from the earth
Bent to the sun
We depleted
So what did you say to make
The dialogue deviate?
To take it away from what you needed?

Didn't look, didn't do
What you thought you should have done
What you've always believed you would
Didn't halt, didn't hush,
didn't stop it coming out
You never could

You couldn't watch, you couldn't run,
You couldn't bury it under you
But you knew better than to look away
And consciously
Knew this just may be all you see

What was it for?
When did you know it's over
We sow its seeds, we deplete, deplete
