lyrics

TURN IT
(e. fischer)

disappointed by expectations
worried about dying on the streets
conquer sadness with eleventh hour speeches
the bravado of magic feats

infuse terror with the gleam of meaning
with the bitter knowledge of hissing snakes
that all that promises to bring us closer
is that we break

call on a creator, a gifted improviser
get on your knees and work very hard
things start out one way so you hope for another
playing card

ferocity and pain, heightened and darkened
by the scars of ordeal, the incredible real,
war roams the world quite apart from tragic heroes
looking for a meal

dismantle the old structures gently
caress each part as you remove it
turn it over, over and over in your hands

find the beauty in destitution
find the wisdom in the congress of fools
turn it over, over and over in your hands

practice pained contemplation
no one manages to get away clean
turn it over, over and over in your hand

be the survivor of the farce
be the shadow on the wall
amiable, self-described failure, confidant of all
