Ruby Eyes In The Fog

I have the courage to say I am confused(x2)
why you would build all of that up to tolerate
whatever will transpire in that place
and I have the courage to say it is
like separation, a disease you should back away
how it lived so long(x2)
and I vow well enough to serve them well
though they produce invisible consequence
you can believe the regular way of words
their smallness and their trembling
they are small they are treacherous
when they are smallest they are treacherous
and I look straight through it like a line
and I have the courage to repeat it
but I respect it just enough not to repeat it(x3)
