Off The Grid

Say goodbye to worlds of laughter
Early morning isn't hours
Minutes by the second dial
Waiting is a slow arrival

Doing math with sons and daughters
In the past it seemed important
Water falling by the dollar
Cooking beans with salt and solder

I smell fear in coffee grinders
Hold a tissue for the silence
Hold a vigil for the blind man
Hold your peace before they find this

Can't remember February
I'm walkin' but I'm falling sideways
Eyes closed I'm hearing double
Hold your peace before they find this

Early 20s had a rhythm
1234567
Ate too much I'm feeling flighted
Undeceived until-

Estuaries freeze with virtue
Brackish water on the surface
Hands tied I'm so uncertain
Certainly I'm so uncertain

Purposely I miss on purpose
Steer the lifeboat into sturgeons
Under siege by whales and starfish
On my knees cause life's a conquest

Trouble is I'm leaking verbiage
Present tense but future perfect
Broke my teeth on pullin' curtains
Hold your peace before they find this!

When I close my eyes nothing can vanish
Devil knows I've done damage
Law of the land and law of the average
We justify means to the odds we've been handed

I am a river the world is an eddy
Snow is melting dreamers are restin'
So hold your peace before they're ready
To go under again

So hold your peace hold your peace until they're ready
Hold your peace until they're ready
No peace
Until they're ready
