Era Prison
why can't you take up
the lies that you made up
we'll go down with you, down with you, down with you, until you fall
why don't you burn up
the strife that you cook up
we'll go down with you, down with you down, with you, until you're gone,
we don't take it easy, we don't take it often, we take our chances in the offing, we take soundings with no prompting
we don't speak it lightly, we can't speak it often, when the minutes are the warden, and the motions are all orphans
why don't you take up
the life that you made up
we'll go down with you, down with you, down with it, until it crawls
why don't you stand up
the people you built up
we'll go down with you, down with you, down with you, until you're gone
there's, just room, for the ones we choose
there's, just room, for ones we lose
obvious colors and obvious places, we drift from intentions, and drift from our accidents
down to us, down to us, down with us until the days that keep us keep us coming up coming off
where we stand now -- just two people caught resting, we'll be off again before long, off before era prisons are closing,
(and closing, and closing us out into something we can't see and can't call up)
they'll always look at you through the windows of what you were before all the changes that came to be more to you, more to you,
(more to you, than all the people that wander off, well-fed and dressed-up)
we wander the streets of these bedrooms a stroll through the last of the words there are no more to move around move with you,
(move with you, move with you, until it's there)
Prisión de la Era
¿Por qué no puedes hacerte cargo
de las mentiras que inventaste?
caeremos contigo, contigo, contigo, hasta que caigas
¿Por qué no quemas
la discordia que provocas?
caeremos contigo, contigo, contigo, hasta que te vayas,
no lo tomamos con calma, no lo tomamos a menudo, tomamos nuestras oportunidades en el horizonte, tomamos medidas sin que nos lo pidan
no lo decimos a la ligera, no podemos decirlo a menudo, cuando los minutos son el carcelero, y los movimientos son todos huérfanos
¿Por qué no asumes
la vida que inventaste?
caeremos contigo, contigo, contigo, hasta que se arrastre
¿Por qué no defiendes
a la gente que construiste?
caeremos contigo, contigo, contigo, hasta que te vayas
solo hay espacio para los que elegimos
solo hay espacio para los que perdemos
colores obvios y lugares obvios, nos alejamos de intenciones, y nos alejamos de nuestros accidentes
hacia nosotros, hacia nosotros, con nosotros hasta los días que nos mantienen, nos mantienen saliendo
donde estamos ahora, solo dos personas atrapadas descansando, estaremos fuera de nuevo antes de mucho, fuera antes de que las prisiones de la era se cierren,
(y nos cierren, y nos cierren en algo que no podemos ver ni invocar)
siempre te mirarán a través de las ventanas de lo que eras antes de todos los cambios que vinieron a ser más para ti, más para ti,
(más para ti, que todas las personas que se van, bien alimentadas y vestidas)
deambulamos por las calles de estos dormitorios, un paseo por las últimas palabras que ya no hay más para moverse, moverse contigo,
(moverse contigo, moverse contigo, hasta que esté allí)
