The Reason and the Fear

a song—shoegaze—key of ???

pry, pry, the overture;
the aftermath and the creed
sing along with hummingbirds
on daffodils that we breed
come, come to Alginon—
the kingdom of the good
apples of the Parthenon
the craftsman and his wood

now the season is here
how the windows turn around
and the reason is the fear
of the rulers that we found

on, on the sailor's dock
the Teflon is the rule
the hands repressing on the clock
keep their eye on the fool
rise, rise above the trees
the rope is there to climb
ashes burn and dust decrees
that soil cleans the mind

now the season is here
how the windows turn around
and the reason is the fear
of the rulers that we found

pry, pry the overture
the scribbles on the wall
read, read the broken words
the crispness of the fall

now the season is here
how the windows turn around
and the reason is the fear
of the rulers that we found
