Guillermo Veloso - Words lyrics

In progress Words Words progress Words lemming like and anxious Find their way to the tongue tongue; the genesis of spoken thought the creator of song and sorrow the path of no return. Words swim and prance Words sing and dance Words sting and prod Words prick and last Words present and past. Words reveal themselves Unwitting amba**adors Marionette prophets Mouth piece of the soul Dummies on unforgiving laps. Words leap to the void Words lend form to the moment Words decompose in the harsh dry winds Time. Moment becomes dream Dream becomes memory Memory crawls upon our Worn, bark dry limbs Memory and moment The discarded skin of a cicada Decades in birth. The rotten carca**es of useless words Lie strewn Skeletal witness Harsh testimony The futility of definition The senseless struggle to describe And document. The loneliness of true pa**ion As it writhes Circumscribed by prescribed convention Wrestled down and held in the grip What should or should not be said. The unspoken truth is a fury The unmentioned pa**ion is a sun's ray The unheld moment is a pa**ing wind's Eternal glory.
