Weave Of A Trap
Folder:
Nessa there's a buzz beyond the shadow
under the tree where the leaves tap
thicket breeze rickets the branches
above and i think back
to where our future glistened
like the weave of a trap
reverbed rumbles interrupt as fast
another truck moves away the past
backing up a second just to tease
but that blaring sound makes my ears bleed
my thoughts have run off the page
blazing saw slices through the day
no need to rip it up to start all over
no trying to overcome the noise today
i wasn't trying to, anyway
i was just trying to
get a transcript of how i felt today
down the side street there's been yelling
and this young man hasn't lost stride
he's still putting his foot in his mouth
as a cat sprays near a car tire
you might as well key a chalkboard
or at least, key your car
if you have that kind of alarm
cause i'm so tempted to
i'm not really that pissed off
i just kinda liked the thought
no need to rip it up to start all over
no trying to overcome the noise today
i wasn't trying to, anyway
i was just trying to
get a transcript of how i felt today
no need to rip it up to start all over
no trying to overcome the noise today
i wasn't trying to, anyway
i was just trying to
get a transcript of how i felt today
just a transcript of how i felt today
you can't hear a thing in the city
you're lucky if you can feel at all
when it gets this busy
they all dream of drinks
but still i remember you
under the tree where the leaves tap
thicket breeze rickets the branches
again and i think back
to where our future glistened
like the weave of a trap
to where our future glistened
like the weave of a trap
to where our future glistened,
the car window that just passed..

a black widow in her web above)
