lyrics

Fear and Damage (Joan Didion)


Many, many shimmers here under the stream
broken over one after another where it never heals clean
and though you'll never ever be a one, you'll always
have a talent to domesticate the violence, how
you carry me, through fear and damage


Many many mornings feel that flame on the rain
and though I shiver on the stretcher like I'm dying of shame
but over all the dead love and battle after battle
in the migraine
weeping laughter, take heart how you managed
carried on, through fear and damage


Farewell to that metropolis, that castle of the lost
veins of pride, pumped full of symbols
of oppressive value,
labor a commodity they never allow you
not that your identity is anything to many men
don't want you to write
don't want you to speak, your voice sounds louder than
their bullhorns carried on, by fear and damage


"Puddles on the road digging on this journey through confusion, revolution by evolution, telling me no guarantee exists that we'll find love. Well, I have your words. I got you Joan Didion. And hell, if that's something, at least I got something."
