Hazy Acres

Did you learn from them when you felt locked up from them

When was the last time you left it open for them 

Under some kind of absolute black and white 

Raining in a paint can 

Splashing away on old paint 

Little bit left to play with 

Little bit left to change it with 

Did you ever ask them to wait long enough to watch your face age 

When was the last time you asked or said 

Wait 

Running in a shell you entered through a pin hole 

Stay close in the rain 

When did you ask for one more chance to deliver 

Was it the last time when all hell came down 

No longer a quiet river 

No longer in solitude

Loud outside with vibrations holding a stick 

You hit them with it when they buck 

Through their drawings above the fire 

In shambles now the picture putting itself back together

Did you learn from them when you felt locked up from them 

Long shadow in the deepening truth 

One added to a static solution

This was before when you asked for more time to deliver 

To deliver yourself a good word to keep for the work 

Under some kind of black and white 

I saw an eye and an eye saw me 

Waiting without words

Asking for something to say 

When was the last time you asked or said 

Wait 

Or was it while you watched them change 

Before your eyes

Connected to a fate 

After you asked for more time to change 

Wait became a path of too late 

When was the last time you asked or said 

Everything
