Somewhere Downstream

Mother called me a baby
those ever loving words somewhere downstream
she reaches for summer growing
her touch is very sure and delighting.
Scary words and I know I've said enough
Time well spent on the atomic clock
Burn it just 'cause you want it
it's too bad we'll be there in the morning
I want you to be the mother
while people silence worlds of creation.
Making things so fast and throwing them away
Rush hour mind got my headphones on
big business looms on the way to the studio
Scary words and I know I've said enough
Time well spent on the atomic clock.

I'm Ready

Though we're running far and free
I'm ready to go
I'm shaking can't still, I'm looking away
I thought I can't convince myself or anyone else
If you need to know how I get around,
of course the decks are stacked and most decided.
I'm warm, I'll take what I need
Now I'm alone and know that you're the one I'm wanting
Though we're running far and free
I'm putting down to asking, I wouldn't want to be
complete without you by my side and staging
Your pain likes to run, I'm putting down line
I wouldn't want to be complete without you
Though we're running far and free

On top, This awful world
put in my place, have to climb down
On top, can't get away
draw your support, this place comes down
Now we mostly stay in little rooms
You're holding on to that thing you do
One time network down, what's that you said?
Nobody gets home and water's gone.
Take me there, I don't think I've had enough
Young black bodies face down in front of Port Authority
I work in midtown, I see it each day
I'm walking by like these other people on eighth avenue.
On top, ooo we're both cut off
Rain coming in, the too-fast kind
Now we mostly stay in little rooms
You're holding on to that thing you do
One time network down, what's that you said?
Nobody gets home and water's gone.
They're gonna say that survival can be what you want.
Just to vibe and then you will get so long gone.
Take me there, I don't think I've had enough
In my city, trafficking in indifference.
Behind my eyes feels full, I'm poisoned by green.
I'm walking by like these other people on eighth avenue.

I've been better than I stand.
I've walked some truly freeing times.
Exercising privilege so well, have my way all up and down.
My soft hands will go down smooth
Your flesh under mine, that's right
Stacked code I can read so well
See the signs lucky one
The industrial side is really booming, I passed through yesterday
They throw up towers and then they market lies
Empty shells of steel that people make right
Our living city, a place we want to be, I want my kid to see this.
