lyrics

At the wake, he stares at the room,
with a nod, is welcomed in
a polished lens captures the light
but stories tell where he's been

Before they start, he asks if it's real,
but no one cares to answer him

What he really wants to know, is how a young man goes
from an angel in Gilead, to the CO2RA where he first had
fantasies of service, a neophile but nervous

He was told to stay, so he sailed away
the situation calls for ice and stone, it's easier without the ties to home
just make sure there's someone in mind, you give the signal they pull the line

Rumor says the day's to blame, that we're still the same,
try telling your eyes that; they're reflecting nothing back
it's a prize, but the name isn't known, it's a story built on atmospherics alone

It's hard to know where the sequence starts,
given what the metrics are
you said you were on to something big,
but I bet you never did the Kenosha Kid
am I right, did I hit it on the nose,
can you answer in the form of polyphony-prose?
