Screaming Against the Lid

from Clover by Matted Grass

/

lyrics

you’ve gotta sing the blues,
spit blood when you need to
because there are pinks and greens
dying, crying for release,
screaming against the lid.

yeah, there’s peach and cream
and a stovecoil glowing underneath.
oh my friend, if you’re feeling bleak,
take a second,
look up
and watch the sky change between the trees.

if you’re like me, life ain’t always easy.
it’s just like mama showed me.
if you’re like me, the weather rolls in thickly
and like clockwork keeps changing.

earth might choke,
life may disappear.
even so man, i’ll make sure
my heat signatures show i was here,
living against the end.
this fire just might catch.

there are beaches and city streets.
take your shoes off so you can feel them with your feet.
yeah, there are mossbeds and cold streams,
furry carpets, ice sheets and poison ivy that’ll wreck your sleep.

honesty.
some call it oversharing,
but i won’t be shamed for nothing.
so you can hate on me
you fucking trolls
if you please.
i’ll be out here living--how to put it?--
blazingly.

truth i seek.
i try to love those who walk with me and
i love the sunsets desperately.
if you’re like me,
and frankly i been praying,
this right here’s got you soaring.
