Waking Work​/​Folds of Night

from Clover by Matted Grass

/

lyrics

waking work is never done.
waking work is never done.
you can seek solutions,
but life’s the question.

push and scrape every day,
aching for silence and space,
to get out of this cage.

pouring rain, pouring rain.
you dream of a dry place to lay,
a comfortable grave.

waking work is never done.
waking work is never done.
you can seek solutions,
but then again, life’s the question.

you keep praying that your kingdom will come.

push and scrape every day,
keep kicking the lock on the gate
and feeding your hate.

fury black on your face,
spitting and cursing your fate.
if that’s what it takes.

pouring rain, pouring rain,
you weep for a dry place to lay,
a comfortable grave.

block it out.
wash away the faces that mock you all day
and this hideous grey.

waking work is never done.
i said waking work is never done.
you can seek solutions,
but in the end, life’s the question.

the star slides down,
clouds catch fire,
the embers die.
earth turns toward space.
the folds of night wrap you up and hold you tight--
you’re worn out, child.
